How do you prevent salami from drying too much?

Like the title says, my Umai soppressata has gotten to the 40%+ range of weight loss. So, how do I prevent it from drying too much and getting too hard? Any suggestions short of eating it all right away?

 So I will give it a bump.

Happy smoken.

Cut into whatever portion you want, vac seal, and freeze. You could also vac seal and store out of light or in a fridge. I haven't had issues with degradation of the product when freezing.

Never had a problem with it getting too hard----Not even when I was young.

I also never had anything that lost a noticeable amount of quality from freezing, other than the one time I mistakenly froze a couple packs of smoked cheese.

Vac seal and store in the frig. I'm enjoying a lonza stored this way for the last year and a half and it's like the day I packed it.

I freeze dried meats I don't plan to eat in 2-3 weeks. Wrapped , in the fridge will not further dry.
