    Is propagating good mold possible?

    I have read that when aging/curing longer term things like salami and capicola, there are good molds and bad molds. It seems there are a few products that will enhance your  "good mold" population. I wonder if it is possible to buy a white covered sausage of some kind in hopes of colonizing...

    Curing salmon for cold smoke

The flesh is appropriately firm, there is a slight sugar on the edges and the smoke is pleasant. If I do this...

    Curing salmon for cold smoke
