Re: Cured, dried and fermented by StefanS

Hi Stefan, I know this is an older thread but I have a question for you. In your culatello projects I noticed that you used s. Erythorbate.

Re: New Starter Culture for Fermented Sausages -- Flavor of Italy

For whatever reason I wasn't getting notified that there was a reply. I need to check my settings. Thanks Bob. I couldn't have said it better myself. This culture is actually called Flora Italia LC US. Renamed "Flavor of Italy". If you get a chance to use it i'd go with a slightly smaller dose. TSM ...

Re: Celery Powder Cure

Hey Kijek. I feel you man. I've been out for a while as well and just getting back into the swing of things. It's been a crazy 18 months!! CJP is a very interesting ingredient. I made a video about it a while back that outlines the things I noticed when using it. I got mine from TSM. Not a huge fan ...

Thanks. We general do 100g of salami and 80 grams of salumi presliced for each tray. :mrgreen: That's funny. We get asked constantly to ship our product to the us. For now it's only available in Panama :wink: On a different topic this afternoon I was finally able to get around to curing the meat for...

We started a frozen food business. Basically we make tons of different dishes then freeze them in portions for 2 adults. All our customers have to do is heat and eat. We cook whatever we want when we want so we aren't tied to any specific menu. The varieties are changing each week. If you check out ...

I'm already one step ahead. 7 years ago we moved here and immediately noticed a possibility to earn a living doing what we love. We started a small business that's now grown quite substantially and I get to work along side m...

As crazy as it sounds it is actually very delicious. I'll post my final recipe as I made a few last minute tweaks. We have a test kitchen of sorts where we can basically act wild and make all sorts of crazy dishes. Many never see the light of day, but every once in a while one comes up and shines as...

ok work has been outrageous lately but today I was delighted to have a sample ready of the Kimchi Salami! All the rest of the links are large but this 32-34mm sample came out today. It weighted in at 40% loss and smells amazing. The flavor is actually incredible. There's a slight tangy quality to it...
