Another question......If I was to buy a salami with that lovely white culture on it and hang it close by to my goat leg....Would that good bacteria jump across to the goat leg??????

Air dried goat leg

Hi everyone, I had a great time in Spain sampling all their lovely jamons ...Yes, I paid out several times for some Jamon Iberica.....But to be honest...Some of the cheaper hams had a more gamy flavor which (in my opinion) made it more tasty...But, it was all just lovely!

Aaron, I am not qualified to respond to your questions, and I certainly don't wish to speculate or guess. There actually exists a considerable body of scientific literature in using probiotics in making dry cured products, you can review some of it and make your own conclusions. As far as kefir, wh...

Redzed I found this quote in Wikapedia on kefir: Recent research revealed kefir grains that were cultured in a medium which had been contaminated with the coliform bacteria E. coli actually inhibited the growth of this organism.

Hi Redzed...I've just googled bacteria in yogurt and got the following: Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, other Lactobacillus strains, Streptococcus thermophilus, and bifidobacteria. Apparently it could be one or all...but usually Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. I...
