I did a bad bad thing. I bought Ruhlman & Polcyn's book "Salume"
So, I go to my butcher and lo & behold he has the "coppa" cut of pork.

Oh well, I guess I'm making cappocollo.

Looking forward to it, and some photos of the process! Clap

Here's a bit of background.  "Coppa" is a muscle group from the pig. It goes from the neck to the fourth or fifth rib. Basically from the neck to where the loin starts. A common European cut, not so in the US.

Don't really know. This is my first time making it. My cold cellar is in the mid 40s with around 78% humidity. I'm thinking I need to do something about the temp to get it higher.

A space heater in a far corner, perhaps?

I'm thinking along those lines, or perhaps a heat lamp instead of a regular light bulb.  I've got a couple of thermometers in there now and am seeing about 5 degrees difference One is showing 46 degrees and one is showing 50 degrees.
