    Oops! To much tender quick!

    It was discussed in this thread Sugar free curing, I doubt the USDA or FDA follows Morton's recommendations I do know Morton follows theirs.

    The USDA reasoning concerns the nitrate in TQ, and frying the bacon

    UMAI Capicola

    Just cut open my Capicola , Cured 10 days. Dried in UMAI Bag 7 1/2 weeks. Very good , not salty , a fresh clean taste. I do believe the traditionally cured dried has a more complex flavor.
