Lonzino on my mind

Hate the wait, but love the results!

I hit 42%, so I thought it was time for a taste test.

I did a light wipe down with cider vinegar.

I was surprised at the high salt level and there's a sharp edge to the flavor. I'm thinking that will tone down over time. The middle wasn't as dry as I wanted, so I put the two pieces end to end in a new bag, reweighed and back into the fridge. I'm thinking another week or so will get me where I want.

Done. The extra six days took it to 46%. The texture is just right and the flavors are better integrated. Yummy stuff.

It looks nice, Idaho!
What kind of texture is it? I've never had it. Is it cheese & crackers plate or something else?
You guys are killing me. I just vac sealed some bresoala yesterday to cure and hung some Mettwurst to ferment today, so I'm about out of project space for at least a month, but this looks interesting. Always looking for something to do with loin..

Point for patience!

Looks awesome.

I have been waiting on a sale on loins to try this.

Thanks, Dan! It has a very silky texture. This is the kind of thing I put next to cheese and preserved vegetables with crackers or bread in the afternoon. It will also accompany me on hunting trips as well. Thanks for the point!

Thanks, c! You won't be disappointed. I paid less than $8 for a four pound loin.

They go on sale here for about 1.69 a lb.

That's what I paid for this one. Screamin' deal. I would buy two and turn one into some boneless chops and a roast to get creative with.

I usually buy 4. Chops, roasts and play meat.

"Play meat". Yeah, I'm stealing that one. And yes, there will be times where it's used very inappropriately.

A beautiful result! I keep meaning to try this. 

Points for the inspiration!
