Hi All,
I made some Capocollo and they have finally cured. I’ve cured them in my curing cabinet.
I made 6 in total and I had 1 which has turned out not looking right. The odour is fine but I just binned them as I’d rather be safe than sorry.
See attached pictures.
I’m just after some advice on what might be the cause? As I said the other 5 looks perfect and red. Happy to post those pictures if people want to see the difference.

Didn’t wrap it tight enough, leaving some air inside?
Looks like not enough time in the cure. Not cured all the way through before you started drying it.
Edit for spelling
Oxidation from that crack that allowed air inside. If you ever do a prosciutto, the outside has the same look. It’s not dangerous but it tastes bad – like cardboard.
