Somerset Charcuterie has proudly released its latest triumph: the Xalapa Coppa, a mouthwatering air-dried pork collar infused with a tantalizing blend of three chillies, herbs, and spices. Recently honoured with a Gold Taste of the West Award, this exceptional creation has been eagerly anticipated by food enthusiasts.
Leo, who draws inspiration from his roots in the Xalapa region of Mexico, curated this creation. His profound knowledge of herbs, spices, and, most notably, chillies, shines through in every slice of this delectable Coppa. The result? A harmonious fusion of Mexican flair and Somerset craftsmanship.
Each slice of Xalapa Coppa offers a subtle heat that gracefully cuts through the creamy fat. The herbaceous notes enhance the natural flavours of the meat to tantalise the taste buds. Whether enjoyed simply with a crusty sourdough or as part of an elaborate charcuterie platter, this Coppa promises an unforgettable dining experience. As Will Greig, Director at Pipers Farms said when he had a taster: “It was absolutely bang on!”
For a delightful pairing, they recommend serving Xalapa Coppa with a light-to-medium sweet white wine.
Creating Xalapa Coppa is no hasty endeavour. Somerset Charcuterie’s commitment to quality ensures that each bite delivers the perfect balance of texture and taste. The reward lies in the exceptional results — a testament to their dedication to artisanal excellence.
Andy Venn, co-founder of Somerset Charcuterie says: “This is a truly unique product, that took two years to develop in order to achieve a perfect balance of heat with the other flavours. We’re very proud of the recent gold Taste of the West award and excited to share it with our customers now.”
