Recipe: Panzanella with Hartgrove Coppa
Prepare your own version of one of Tuscany’s most famous dishes, Panzanella, using our Free range charcuterie best-seller, Hartgrove Coppa.
Panzanella, also known as panmolle, is a fantastic way to use up stale bread. This Tuscan salad is at its best with plump ripe tomatoes, fresh peppery basil and dry cured Hartgrove Coppa. Our 3 star Great Taste Award winning Hartgrove Coppa gives a savoury richness to this vibrant salad and is locally produced by us here in Dorset using free range British pork collar.
