I work as a tour guide in Roma (Rome). About 10 years ago i was with this couple of American tourists, who after spending the morning at the Vatican Museums proposed me to eat lunch with them. I took them to a tipical Roman trattoria, and they brought us a plate of cold cuts first, as an antipasto. The lady had the ham, but she was very hesitant about the mortadella (or, as we call it here in Roma, MORTAZZA lol). It looked weird, she said. I really wanted her to try it out so i said "it is vapourized meat, have a slice" And her "eoowww, VAPOURIZED MEAT? No thanks" Me then "ma'am, have you ever had hot dog before?" "Yes of cours, i love hot dog" "Good. So, hot dog is vapourized meat. With the difference that hot dog is filled with the left overs of the worst cuts you can imagine, while mortazza is made with premium italian meat from the food valley." "Alright, let me try it" She then proceeded to have it every other day stuffed inside a cut open piece or Roman white pizza.

[@chrisduffy2737]

[@ricodelavega4511]

the turkey bologna from applegate with cheddar on whole wheat bread really did it for me in grad school. Wish I had known about bresaola.

[@Laurelin70]

Maybe because you should have said STEAMED meat, not "vapourized". Unless you wanted to suggest her she had to try a spray of meat. Or dried out and pulverized meat. Me too I would be horrified. Maybe try to learn more of the english language before speaking to a mother tongue? www.wordreference.com/enit/vaporize www.wordreference.com/enit/steam

[@AtrolinK]

@@Laurelin70 i guess you're right and thanks for the correction, wrong word, that didn't help at all with her reaction. Now that you make me realize it it sounds horrific to me too lol. But the point is that she was disgusted by the sight of mortadella before i even said that, and the only reason why she would eventually try it was because she saw with my comparison the similarity with the hotdog, the "steamed" meat she already knew and ate.

This video brought back memories of my Italian grandfather and his cold cuts. He was from Bologna, Italy and moved to America during WW2. He would complain about the "Italian" cold-cuts available in America because they just weren't the same. He had Italian friends or family members send him the 'good stuff' on occasion. I remember eating mortadella and prosciutto when I was younger. I'm now starving! lol Thank you for bringing back those memories to me.

Both the cheese (formaggio)and cold meat (affettato) episodes were great, but now you have to also do one on bread! Because without good bread you can’t really enjoy the affettati! (some ideas Panne Ferrarese, pagnotta di Sezze etc...) also maybe an episode on agriturismo (maybe the best restaurants unknown to most tourists) Great videos I grew up in South Africa and am of Italian decent. I can relate to a-lot of what you say as growing up in the 80’s and even 90’s most of the pasta and Italian products had to be brought in when people visited or from specialist shops. The rest we had to make our selves or improvise as best you could (like using bacon instead of guanciale for carbonara). And I still die a little inside everytime I hear someone has used a supermarket bought carbonara sauce as it is both quicker to make yourself and so much better! Keep up the great work and thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!

Thank you for sharing this information. I am half-italian and grew up in the southern U.S. We didn't have access to genuine italian cuisine. We'd get salami and prosciutto the base commissary which was normally american-made, or my dad would ask my aunt (who lived in brooklyn, ny) to send us some. I really love your channel! The best part of this video for me was when you (Harper) were comparing Mortadella versus Bologna. Whenever you would do that, Eva's face would go stone cold LOL! She's a proud Southern Italian Lady for sure! Thank you for sharing your life with the world. Blessings to you and your family, Alex

She just has to accept that mortadella is bologba in English. It would be like insisting to say "pane" instead of bread in English. I love Eva, but as a language teacher she should learn this is a language issue.

Just a quick note for who's interested: if you cut speck into little sticks instead of thin slices, you can cook it shortly in a pan to make it crispy, add some cream and use this to season pasta. You just made "pasta panna e speck" and it's delicious!

[@davidebelli1027]

As An italian, i want to point Out that there are much more types of prosciutto. The prosciutto di Parma has a denomination of origin; It means that to produce It you have to follow some rules and you must produce It into a specific area, near to the city of Parma. There are others kind of PDO prosciutto crudo, like prosciutto crudo di San Daniele or prosciutto crudo di sauris (North-east), di Cuneo (near to turin), toscano (from tuscany), di Norcia e di carpegna (central italy), jambon de bosses (north-west). All of these are protected by a denomination of origin, a kind of origin mark, and have many different features (place of production, minimum time of ageing, Smoked or not). Prosciutto di montagna o prosciutto crudo nazionale don't have to follow these rules, so we can say that the quality and the price will be lower . The prosciutto cotto instead doesn't have any kind of denomination in italy

[@basssschie]

Don't forget the culatello di zibello

[@davidebelli1027]

@@basssschie actually it's not a prosciutto

[@basssschie]

@@davidebelli1027 fair enough

[@wellaciccio2362]

However, I have been told by someone in the supermarket industry that the prosciutto cotto that they usually sell is actually a spoiled prosciutto di parma that has been spoiled at some moment in during the ageing process. Of course, they do the necessary steps to prevent bad things, but overall, it seemed to me that prosciutto cotto has actually an agein process behind it under some regulations. I am not sure if it makes it better or worse quality-wise. However, it is delicious in general.

[@hrstra]

​@@wellaciccio2362that someone has no clue

[@MrMalagutiAle]

Well, you guys just covered some of the most common cold cuts used in southern regions. Let's go over some you can find in the north/center part. We also have A LOT of other delicious things that are sometimes well known only on regional basis. Starting from the northern part we have all sorts of kaminwurz (smoky sausages) made from both pork and deer meet, different kind of speck, carne salada from Trentino, herb-smoked prosciutto and sausage (i.e. from Sauris, FVG), prosciutto San Daniele, soppressa veneta (a big salami with garlic) or, on the western side, salsiccia di Bra and various kind of bresaola. Then we have coppa Piacentina, prosciutto di Parma, salame Felino and the more rustic salame gentile and salsiccia secca, the real mortadella (with no pistachos at all) from Bologna and its ancestor, the salame rosa. Btw, we use black pepper instead of peperoncino to season the pancetta, stesa or arrotolata, whatever. More, you can enjoy the prosciutto toscano (which is seasoned with more salt and pepper) and the finocchiona from Florence or some lardo di Colonnata (seasoned in marble basins). Or you can have some ciauscolo from Marche spread on a slice of bread, some guanciale from Amatrice (the one you shoud use for Carbonara and Amatriciana) and, maybe, finish with what is not a salami but it's probably the link between north and south: some good slices of porchetta.

[@LDTube-pz9fq]

Actually at least half the cold cuts she showed are made only in North Italy: prosciutto di Parma, Salame Milano, Bresaola, Speck and Mortadella.

[@leemortaccy8133]

In Parma alone there's Spalla Cotta di San Secondo, Culatello di Zibello, Strolghino, coppa di Parma, Spalla cruda and Mariola. Not to mention prosciutto crudo/cotto and Salame di Felino.

[@fc436]

italy have 600 different typical cold cuts!!! Ranging from the Germanic flavors of Trentino Alto Adige and Alto Veneto, to Spanish flavors, to game ... everything !! Umbria and Tuscany I believe that alone far exceed the number of Spanish or German cured meats. In Italy there are often unique cold cuts between villages 10 km away. For example "la MORTANDELA" (not "mortadella"!!!) Is a certified and unique slow food garrison, produced exclusively in the area of Val di Non in Trentino. Throughout the planet it is produced only in a few villages of the Val di Non and only on a totally artisanal level. Here .. dozens of small villages in Italy have unique cold cuts that are impossible to taste elsewhere

Love the Calabrian salame. One of my favorites is finocchiona from around Firenze (Florence) which has fennel seeds adding a particular taste. Even better is finocchiona sbriciolona which actually crumbles a little when you slice it - hence the name.

[@michaelrutledge3750]

My grandmother was raised Mennonite. I remember her talking about speck. I’ve heard Amish people talk about it, too. I’ve never tried it, though. I guess it makes sense since my grandmother’s family originated in Austria.

[@ikiruyamamoto1050]

Another fun video! While I appreciate Eva's pride in her home region, capocollo is not "traditionally from Calabria" (10:22). Calabria is but ONE of the many regions that make capocollo (AKA Coppa), but it is one of two DOPs. [Just like Prosciutto di PARMA is just ONE DOP for prosciutto....like San Daniele]. Obviously like most salumi the origins go back hundreds if not thousands of years and throughout the region!

[@petereggers7603]

So sad that Harper hasn't any references to the taste of prosciutto crudo. Coming from Germany - often referred to as pork-land - I grew up with "raw ham". We have several regional specialties like the famous Black Forest Ham (salted and smoked over fir tree), Westpahlian Bone Ham (cured with the bone left inside), smoked Katen-Schinken (lit.: cottage ham) from the regions Schleswig-Holstein or Ammerland (in Lower saxony) and many more. I really love the italian varieties as well. We have in Cologne an italian importer delivering restaurants as well as having a shop for "normal" customers... I'm always fascinated by the vast choice of different long aged hams, not only the original parma, but as well San Daniele or others. Love the "cotto" once as well...sometimes seasoned (e.g. with rosmary)...wonderful! Glad you mentioned the "(south)tyrolean speck", which is very popular in Germany as well. During spring white asparagus is a big thing in Germany...the best time for having it with a big plate of different hams. Greetz from Cologne, Germany

[@67claudius]

Speck is the fusion of two types of meat preservation, the salting, typical of the Mediterranean area and the smoking, typical of northern Europe. The cuisine of Trentino Alto Adige is the mirror of this fusion.

[@cannuccia208]

For completeness reasons: capicollo (capocollo) is pretty much made in all Italy, and it's also known by the name of coppa, which is the name that got the DOP registered in Piacenza. It's not from the south only (even tho the spicy version probably is from calabria only, pretty much the same reasoning applies to the pancetta). P.s. Coincidentally Piacenza happens to have DOP registered for both coppa and pancetta, which are both also DOP in calabria. BUT (cold cuts flex incoming) Piacenza also got a DOP on salame, making it the only province with 3 cold cut DOPs

Eva: Italy's finest export!

[@pennyhatzikou370]

I love the videos you make about food, shopping and showing and explaining products. I live in Greece and we get a lot of Italian products at the supermarket so now I know what to ask for! Thank you!!!

[@sueorr6690]

Fabulous show Eva and Harper. Loved the cold meats and Salami class! Spianata is my favourite. Nice and spicy. Then nothing beats a fresh mortadella sandwich in crusty fresh buttered bread. Both parents are Italian. I grew up on these meats. Italians are gifted when curing their meats and sausages. They are gifted with ice cream making. They are gifted with coffee roasting and blending. They are gifted with making delicious wines, Tangy Limencello liqueur. The list is endless. The Italians know all about taste. They put so much passion and love in to everything which is what makes their culture and cuisine so exciting and so delicious. Maybe you guys could do a show on some of these specialties? Now you two should give each other a nice Salami breath kiss now after all that tasting!! Ciao Bella xx 🤣👏💋

[@alessandroroveda2859]

Sandwiches without butter please! 😅

[@teespoon8858]

Yikes!!! Coming from an Italian (Calabria) Mortedella is beyond Bologna!!! My ABSOLUTE favorite is Genoa salami... Have that toasted on a panini with provelone and you are hooked up!!! My Dad used to make his own salsiccia, salami, cheese and buns!!! I love you both and love what you bring to our lives!!! Grazie tanto!!!! 🇨🇦🇮🇹❤💕

[@b1k2q34]

Genoa salami is by far my favorite.

[@tonyapedraza180]

I wish you guys made more videos because you're so entertaining and quite educational!!!😋💕

[@bethaminkhan4951]

i love these videos...Please do lots of individual italian pasta recipes and main courses and desserts... You both make a great team!

[@domenicobuonocore8729]

Prossimo video: insegniamo ad Harper come abbinare cold cuts & cheese; cheese & honey or marmalade; cheese and nuts; cheese and fruits. It will take a long long time 😂

Thanks!

[@erikaterlini3093]

La prossima volta prosciutto di San Daniele, prosciutto di Sauris (lo conosci Eva? é l'unico prosciutto italiano affumicato solo con legno di faggio, una delizia 😋), Finocchiona e salsiccie secche di cinghiale 🤤 Bel video, come sempre 👍🏻👍🏻

[@eunicer.7748]

I can’t believe I fell behind on episodes but I’m catching up on all your in Italy vlogs! Such good quality content, learned so much. You two are amazing!!! I’m living vicariously through you and wish I could taste it all!

[@forthosewhoHUNGER]

Hello, my beautiful Italian friends!!! Well, Eva! Harper...I don’t know what you are! If you were Chef Alfredo, I would know! 😁 We own a small organic farm in the Missouri Ozarks and a HIGH PERCENTAGE of the veggies I choose to grow are Italian heirlooms as they do, in fact, TASTE THE BEST! Being in amazing Italy now, is there any way you could either go to a small farm there and taste their produce, describing it to everyone? Or even go to a fruit and vegetable market and show us all the difference in look AND taste between what we call veggies here in the USA and what REAL veggies taste like there in Italy?!?! I would LOVE to be taken on a tour of real food grown in beautiful Italia!

[@newley]

Eva is una delizia and would love to hear her opinions on other aspects of Italian culture - especially Italian film directors like Pasolini, Bertolucci and Antonioni.

[@gabrielenicoli5065]

Eva, Harper, you should try more of our salami from Lombardia! like the Cacciatorini of wild meat, like cinghiale (boar), cervo (deer) or just regular pork or beef. Or the famous Cotechino from Bergamo where I am from!! They will blow your mind!! :)

[@stironeceno]

Bergum da hura o Bergum da hotta .

[@leifareed]

Salame di Varzi anche, o la Slinzega (se la trovate, rigorosamente di cavallo, sennò di manzo)

[@JustMe-gs9xi]

i think Eva is choosing the meats. i don't think you should complicate this for americans who watch the video,, but i will keep in mind to try it. Bergamo,, ok,, grazie

[@jeanneamato8278]

I am soooo enjoying these Italian food lessons. Grazie. More more per favore.

[@olafbigandglad]

When I was in Florence three or four years ago, I went into a kitchen store to buy a moka. Anyway, they had this absolutely stunningly beautiful meat slicer, which cost about 5,000 euros, and which the salesperson explained was for home use. I didn't really believe him, but after watching this episode, I completely get it.

[@LDTube-pz9fq]

a bit expensive: mine costed 50 €

[@olafbigandglad]

@@LDTube-pz9fq You should have seen this thing. It looked like a 50's Alfa Romeo.

[@LDTube-pz9fq]

@@olafbigandglad yeah, I guessed it was expensive but worth every euro for cut precision, durability and design

[@heidicolville4961]

All those different meats look wonderful. In Germany they also have a variety of cold cuts that are amazing. As well the panni bun you ate at the end was so nice and crunchy. All over Europe they have the most amazing breads and buns. Wish we could get those in Canada and the US. Our bread and buns are just not the same. Can not wait until we can visit Europe again.

[@otherwords1375]

One of my favorite dishes when I was in Northern Italy was "prosciutto e melone." Fresh prosciutto crudo, fresh melon. That's it. It was incredible.

[@cristinaMG1049]

for us it is an appetizer you can also try ham and figs with bread, delicious

[@JustMe-gs9xi]

@@cristinaMG1049 ? which type of figs??? grazie

[@fabiofizzardi2457]

It's like a summer dish, usually it's like an antipasto

[@lisaambrose8302]

Can we all just pause for a minute to appreciate how beautifully sliced the meat is? Some deli’s in Australia are under the misconception that thicker is better...... NO!!!!! Nice and thin and delicate!!! I want capicollo now🤗

[@MildlyDepressed1985]

Harper & Eva Italian Imports, that’s a company I would trust!

[@pabloguerra3028]

Thank you Eva and Harper for the great videos in Italy. Such a blast watching each video...now viewing all this Italian Cold Cuts is like we take a culinary tour thru Italy while viewing the videos. Keep enjoying the trip and keep creating great videos as always.

[@ara99ara]

Love from Greece!

[@dianagiordano1278]

"It's all coming together" love it

[@justjenn1345]

Ok guys that sandwich looks amazing but it was not what I was thinking. I was thinking I’d like to see papa cook his pasta with the meats he made. But that’s just me. I love mama and papa. Love you two as well.

[@annamariaayyad2891]

It all looks so delicious. In Molise we make a lot of different varieties as well. My favourite was the Capicollo and the liver sausage that my dad made. But the best was the cured pork sausage that they jarred in oil. Great memories. Thank you once again. I always look forward to your videos.

[@fatherofchickens7951]

Eva’s side eye ‘call it balogna one more time...😒’ 🤣❤️

[@keithdebrunner8722]

Eva! Harper! This has quickly become one of my favorite channels, and your website as well. You two are gems and I have learned so much about Italian cooking I did not from the famous chefs. Your videos are excellent, wonderfully entertaining, and your instruction invaluable! Thank you!

[@andrewscala6006]

Your show reminded me about a little poem my uncle taught me when I was visiting Sicily. Eva can translate!! Cara Mella, morta Della, manda Rino e bouta Nella!!!

[@wlahorne]

Io la so così: Cara Mella Morta Della Manda Rino Baci, Nella

[@brunoreggio3896]

It's a word pun. I could translate it for you, but it won't mean anything

[@brunoreggio3896]

@@wlahorne si vede che in Sicilia usano buttanella :)

[@fil_is_weird1936]

I'm not sure but I think the last one is "baci Nella", like "Kisses from Nella" and "basin". But I'm from Rome and I don't know if "bouta" means something specific in Sicilian. I had forgotten this rhyme, a friend of mine used to repeat it constantly when I was in kindergarten, thank you for unlocking a memory ahahahaha

[@LDTube-pz9fq]

@@fil_is_weird1936 Bouta Nella is the X funny x rated version

[@catzbollox]

So JEALOUS!! The Sopressata looks delicious! My fave is Pancetta, but I'm gonna have to get some Bresaola. Today. As soon as possible.

[@peadar-o]

Eva’s inner teacher has her ruler at the ready at all times 😉

[@JSTODDARDJ]

Great episode. Love Italian cold cuts when cut thin.

[@TheMarcodiator]

Next time you are in my home city of Rome: Pizza bianca co la mortazza. it's "white pizza" with mortadella inside. You are most welcome. :D

[@nataliarizo-patron1096]

[@allegra1236]

Watching you is bringing me back to our family’s table in Slovenia!!! Such delicious meats!! Much of it made on their farm! ( of course we did buy some at the small shop from time to time). I miss that kind of food desperately. There is nothing like it here in Oklahoma!!! All you need to add is some good salty cheese , fresh bread and vino!! Loved this video!!! Loved the cheese vlog as well! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@damianolanzoni9583]

Some months ago my brother made some homemade salame mantovano. You have no idea the level of discussion in the family because everyone had their opinion about what it was the right way to do it :D

[@ivanlucky76]

Ciao grandissimi, Eva hai dementicato il prosciutto di San Daniele, uno dei due famosi insieme al Parma. Il mio preferito non lo hai nominato, la Sopressa, uno dei must Veneti. Il panino con la mortadella a metà mattina rimane uno dei piaceri della vita. Lo proverò con il limone. Buona Domenica.

[@bklondon75deliciousnesswit64]

Another great video. Surprised you didn’t compare prosciutto San Daniele with Parma. Looking forward to next weeks instalment.

[@crashtextdummie]

You could make an entire video just on prosciutto crudo lol. All the various stages of aging in crudo di parma alone would lend themselves to an full afternoon of tasting.

[@rickbrauer6794]

I learned we don't have the variety presented to us here in the US. Your blessed to be in Calabria! God bless.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

"We have two kinds of prosciutto crudo: Parma and montagna." Prosciutto di San Daniele Prosciutto di Norcia Prosciutto di Sauris Cinta Senese Toscano DOP Veneto Berico-Euganeo ........ : "AM I A JOKE TO YOU?"

Prosciutto d’Osvaldo

[@bohboh5220]

I thought I knew every Italian cold cut but the Spianata Calabrese is one I have never had! Or even heard of! I will have to seek that out!

[@Opusss]

I wish we could get those giant lemons here in the US. It might be a trick of my memory but when I visited Capri I think the lemons were as big as my head.

[@GuidoOrefice76]

Those you mention probably were cedar fruits, not lemons.
