Etymology of CULOTTA

The word "culotta" has Italian origins. It is derived from the Italian word "culatta", which originally referred to the hindquarters or rump of an animal, particularly in relation to meat cuts. The term was later applied to the culinary technique of stuffing meat, typically pork, with ingredients such as cheese, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Over time, "culatta" evolved into "culotta", reflecting a variation in pronunciation. In some regions of Italy, "culotta" specifically refers to a specific pork cut known as "culatello", which is cured ham made from the best part of the pig's rump.
