Is it safe to hang meat to cure in my kitchen ?
Away from food prepping areas ?
I live in Ireland - I talking more from a bacterial sense. I have my cured Nduja currently hanging in a wine
Cooler the kitchen . I have left the door of the cooler a crack open as it seems to help with controlling the humidity. For the past week my temp is 12 degrees and my humidity ranges between 70-80%. I’m just wondering more about any spores or anything around the curing
Chamber?
 
If the salami is not inoculated with beneficial mold spores, wild molds will grow...that is practically a guarantee. Whether those wild molds will be beneficial or not is anyone's guess..

From a curing stand point-as long as you can maintain an environment with 50-60*F; 70-85%RH, then your salami should dry without too much trouble...unless you are drying large diameter salamis, then the humidity will need to be controlled between 80-85%RH to slow the drying down even more to prevent dry rim and case hardening.
