Coppa, Lonzino, and Bresaola are finally finihed

I just finished the curing of the Coppa, Lonzino and Breasaola, and they turned out great. The Coppa was my personal favorite, with a strong clove flavor, the Lonzino was a little salty, so next time I will cut the salt back a bit, below is the coppa http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc372/tsmodie...

the Butcher and packer spices do 25 lbs per package, so i just cut the meat into thirds for the batches I like to do, you can adjust the ratio and spices for the batch size you like,Tim

This really sounds good, how do you serve it, do you slice it and fry it up? We have always done a Knopp, with pork and oatmeal and spices, we chill this and slice it and fry it up, is this prepared the same way? Tim
