Going to be gone all next week so I wanna check the salami made last month.

First off this recipe was made with ECO CURE 2. Im not sure if I really like it as much as modern cure 2.

Anyways

Lets Salami.

Some way over target weight loss but oh well.

Nicely done Rick!

Smaller diameter casings diffuse water to the surface faster than a thicker salami so that's likely why it turned ok.... Looks great to me!!

What is it exactly about the eco cure that you don't like? I have tried Olympic Provisions Salami and they use nitrite/nitrate blend that is sourced from swiss chard. I can taste the swiss chard in their salami....not a fan...at all. I do not have a problem with synthetic nitrates because I understand the science. Not much at all is let after hanging in my chamber once a piece is dried....
