Dry cured ham

Just returned from Barcelona Spain and can't take of my mind the test of dry cured meats they are famous in Catalonia. Every since I studied, and I think I want to try to make a Coppa ham. The only problem I have now, I can't find a pork shoulder butt and get my self the Coppa muscle I need. I have the casing, the curing salt #2, the elastic net for hanging, everything, except the main ingredient. Do you guys know where to get such thing in SF bay area. I made a few phone calls and nobody has the shoulder butt. I found a Boston butt which is cut to short and lacks the upper part I need for my project. In this respect I wish I was from New York, Chicago etc.

 

Did you try Olivier's in San Francisco?

 

I will first think Monday morning, thanks

 

You could try contacting a Pork farm. Try getting meat from a Berkshire hog. Berkshire hogs have a natural buttery flavor to the meat. There is a farm in Minnesota that will ship. I can't remember the name.
