FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How to preserve cured meats so that they keep all their organoleptic properties?

If the salami is still whole it can be stored at home, in a well-ventilated area that respects a temperature of max or equal to 15C ° in order to prevent the formation of mold. The ideal place for storage is the cellar, but if there is not the possibility, a storage room is also fine as long as it maintains the characteristics indicated above.
Otherwise it is possible to keep the salami in the fridge wrapped in a cotton cloth moistened with water or practical wine that will prevent it from hardening too much.

How to prevent cured meats from going rancid?

Rancidification can be stopped (but not completely eliminated) by storing the product in a cool environment, with little exposure to oxygen, free radicals and away from direct light. Light and heat, in fact, deform the structure of fats and accelerate their reaction with oxygen.

If mold forms, is the cured meat to be thrown away?

First of all, it is necessary to ascertain whether the cured meat has mold only on the outside or also on the inside: if it should show signs of mold inside, unfortunately, nothing can be done, it is no longer possible to recover it, as its nutrients are already been altered. If, on the other hand, the mold is only on the outside and the salami does not show any changes inside, you can proceed by cleaning the salami with a cloth moistened with water.

How to remove the skin from cured meats easily?

To remove the skin of cured meats more easily, it is necessary to wrap them in a damp cloth and leave them to rest for an hour (depending on the degree of seasoning) before peeling them. Or just wet the salami with warm water, cut the entire length with a side cut and the skin will tend to peel off without problems.

What does “Preservative Free” mean?

The wording “Without Preservatives” certifies local cured meats, made as they once were, without chemical additives and preservatives, processed according to tradition, to make consumers rediscover the genuine flavor of traditional peasant salami.
