Many Italian regions make their own version of capocollo, known by names like coppa or capicola. But few are as distinctive as Capocollo di Martina Franca from Puglia, Italy. Here, the meat is marinated in vin cotto, or grape must, for over 24 hours, adding fruitiness and a touch of tang. I visited Francesco at Salumi Martina Franca, one of the only two farmers who makes capocollo in Puglia using a rare breed of pigs, the black Apulian pigs, known for its complex flavors. 🗺️ Get a map of all my favorite food spots in Italy, London, and beyond https://www.dscvr.shop/claudiaromeo 🌍 Get 5% off Holafly International eSIM card http://holafly.sjv.io/6yqx9N Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@claudia-romeo Let’s connect Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/claudiaromeo TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@.claudiaromeo Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/claudia-romeo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cldromeo My Amazon recommendations: https://www.amazon.com/shop/claudiaromeo Buy me a ☕: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/claudiaromeo Visit https://salumimartinafranca.it/ My Equipment - AF Panasonic LUMIX S5II https://amzn.to/3NvUeow Sony ZV-E10 https://amzn.to/3GJJr7f Osmo Pocket 3: https://amzn.to/4jabeyb Rode Wireless GO II https://amzn.to/3GGo5ax Joby Telepod https://amzn.to/3jREKiL Joby Compact Tripod https://amzn.to/3ZaCvqN Contact hello@claudiaromeo.com About me I'm Claudia, a journalist and producer reporting on food.
