Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
Capocollo di Calabria is a dry-cured whole cut, the boned upper part of the pork loin, from pigs reared and slaughtered in Calabria. It is cured in salt or brine for up to 14 days, wrapped in natural casing, tied and matured for at least 100 days. It is a whole-muscle cure, not made from minced meat.

Amounts from a sourceThe specification fixes the cut, its weight and the curing and maturing limits, not the amounts of salt and spice.

From heavy Italian-type pigs reared in Calabria; batches average at least 140 kg at slaughter[eu-capocollo-2015]
No microbial starter is added to the Calabrian cured meats studied, capocollo among them (Romeo et al. 2014).

Capocollo di Calabria is a dry-cured whole cut, the boned upper part of the pork loin, from pigs reared and slaughtered in Calabria. It is cured in salt or brine for up to 14 days, wrapped in natural casing, tied and matured for at least 100 days. It is a whole-muscle cure, not made from minced meat. Made in 4 steps over 3.7 months. The longest step, mature, takes at least 3.3 months (European Commission 2015) and runs at 14–18 °C (Romeo F.V 2014).
Capocollo di Calabria is a whole muscle, not a minced sausage. It is cured for up to 14 days and matured at least 100 days under the 2015 amendment, while the 1997 application gave maturing times of thirty to a hundred days for the Calabrian salumi as a group.
Additives allowed by the specification protect the meat from microbes and unwanted fermentation during the slow maturing. This is still raw pork that is cured, not cooked. Curing and drying alone do not consistently kill Trichinella worms in pork (CDC). CDC tells people who are pregnant, 65 or older or have a weakened immune system to avoid unheated deli meat and cold cuts, or to heat them until steaming hot.
Entered in the EU register as a PDO, together with Soppressata, Salsiccia and Pancetta di Calabria, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 134/98 of 20 January 1998, published on 21 January 1998. The application cites the 17th-century work "Della Calabria Illustrata" for early pork processing in the region.
