Cured Pork Shoulder
Cured pork shoulder is a salt-preserved meat product made from the upper front leg of the pig, traditionally used in charcuterie specialties like coppa. The curing process concentrates the meat's natural flavors while creating a dense, marbled texture from the shoulder's mix of lean muscle and fat deposits. With significantly higher sodium content than fresh pork, it provides substantial protein but requires portion consideration in sodium-restricted diets. Typically sliced thin for charcuterie boards or cubed to flavor stews and bean dishes, it offers robust umami depth to various culinary applications.
