Instructions
  1. For this recipe you will need a sweet Melon (Rockmelon). To fond out if it sweet you should smell the melon. If it smell like melon it sould be sweet. If it doesnt smell anything. It owont be sweet. so pick up the rigth one and when they are in season. You will also need a tool named "the Melon baller" or "Parisian scoop". Get your coppa and skewers ready.
  2. Coppa is a collection of muscles that is an extension of the loin that runs through the pork shoulder. When butchered, it has a barrel shape and is best suited for charcuterie or slow roasting. Being in the shoulder, it has a lot of fat, and it is a muscle that gets used a lot, resulting in more flavor.
