A sausage product: “Capocollo, also known as [gaba’goul], is a traditional Italian pork cold cut made from the dry-cured muscle running from the neck to the 4th or 5th rib of the pork shoulder or neck. The name capocollo comes from capo and collo of a pig.”

Dry-aged ham, found in fancy deli sandwiches. Our town’s butcher shop has it occasionally, $8+/pound.

Capocollo [kapoˈkɔllo], also known as [gaba'goul] (in certain parts of the United States, notably among Italian-Americans in New Jersey, as made famous by the HBO Television series "The Sopranos"; cappicola, coppa in Canada, capicollo or capicolla),^[1] is a traditional Italian pork cold cut (salume) made from the dry-cured muscle running from the neck to the 4th or 5th rib of the pork shoulder or neck. The name capocollo comes from capo ("head") and collo ("neck") of a pig. It is a whole muscle salume, dry cured and, typically, sliced very thin. It is similar to the more widely known cured ham or prosciutto, because they are both pork-derived cold-cuts that are used in similar dishes. However, coppa is not brined as ham typically is.

It is a meat, like supressata (zoopressot') and prosciutto (pro-zhoot'). They are wonderful with some melted mozzerella (moot'serell). Connecticut's Italians have some of the same pronunciations.

Generally... Hot ham. More so... well if you know what prosciutto ham is... capicola is very similar, except uses cuts of pork from the neck and shoulder instead of the shank. It's dried and aged and I believe lightly smoked.
