  2. Pork shoulder and belly, lots of hot and sweet Calabrian pepper, small amounts of fennel seed and pollen, black peppercorns ground and whole, salt, cure2

    Stuffed in hog casings, F-LC starter for 3 days at 75F in the oven, ph meter was reading around 5.0.

    Mold600 sprayed during fermentation, then hung for about 3 weeks. This piece is the smallest, I made 4 total. Today there was about 40% loss on this small piece so we tasted it. It’s still a bit soft so I will let the others dry a bit more. Can’t wait to make another batch.

    Is that a whole peppercorn on the cut? At first glance I was sketched out thinking you somehow had mold

  4. If you’re looking for a site that does a lot of salami, look at 2 guys and a cooler. Eric runs it. I have been following him for 5 years now. I’m a patron. Another site you should check out is, Duncan Henry. He’s a young guy based in Canada. Not a deep in salami.
