Toss it, or eat it?

[Makkara]

I need input on a chunk of bresaola I found in the back of my garage refer. It is not dated but I believe it is 5+ years old! I used the UMAI recipe, enjoyed it, and then forgot about it. It has been vac packed the whole time. I do remember wiping it with vinegar once to get rid of a white mold. The pictures are from today. Vac bag indentations can be seen.

Thank you for your input!

I'd eat it.....trusting my process and that it was done correctly......

Recently I found bresaola and coppa lost in my fridge - both dated 4 plus years ago. All vac sealed. I had no problem with taste nor with appearance so both pieces are gone by now... . If yours tastes good - eat it!

Coming from you, I will keep it. I trust my process and have had success with many other cured meats.

Thank you for your input. Your level of expertise in curing meats is mind blowing!!
