3/ An English butcher calls this cylindrical roast "pork collar". An Italian butcher calls it "coppa fresca". Note the "fresca" - "fresh". ...but you can also cure it.

4/ Rub it with typical spices and cure components - black pepper, salt, sugar, nitrates, etc. Let it sit for a week or two. Rinse it off. Pack it into a rinsed and clean beef bung and hang it on the basement / curing room.
