Salami Recipes

I was initially hesitant to post salami recipes. These are the hard ones in the charcuterie craft. Salami is fermented sausage, and you must carefully control your humidity, salt levels, acidity and temperature for everything to come out OK. If you mess things up, you can get sick. I highly recommend you buy and read one of the books listed below before you start doing real dry cured salami at home.

Italian Cacciatore Salami

This is an Italian hunter’s style salami done in hog casings, which are narrower than the typical beef casings you see on most salami. That makes it easier to cure, and allows you to carry it with you when you are in the field.

    Dear Hank, even though you did not post my previous 2 letters, I want t thank you again. The 24kg salami is a wonderful success. Pity there is no way to show you photos on this site. The cow casings worked out the best. All has the same twang as very expensive Italian salami, and tastes wonderful. It has been 4 weeks, and in another 2 weeks my friends and family will share in the joy! Regards Hottie

    I looked in your equipment post and you specifically excluded what you use for dry curing. Is this somewhere else. Want to figure out a good option for a small dedicated curing/aging fridge. Do i need to have very specific temp and hunidity controls or is a small college style fridge enough?
