I think you have a very nice thing going and I hope your doing well, I also, wish you good luck for the future.
I was also wondering with the slice meats, what amount you get as well.
I love your menu items, they look delicious.
Curious, can you and do you ship to the US

It Over!

Well it's over and I'm home. Wednesday afternoon had my total knee replacement surgery and everything went super well and I'm very happy.
So, going to do my rehab and hopefully I can open up my shop and start doing some charcuterie.
Doesn't look like I missed much, anything new out there?

I just opened and cut some of my lonzino that I made using Umai, it took me 3 months to reach 35% weight loss. The end product came out super very good, I'm very pleased.

I wouldn't use it for making any dry cured sausages though, I feel it will hinder the fermentation and drying processes. Good luck with the Lonzino, I have one that has just f...

Those codes are good to know, but they don't up my game and/or push me into ordering, just to save a buck or two. I just go wit the flow, when I need something, I order it. If it's a big order, I may wait and hunt around, but for the most part, I just order what I need. I feel those extras and/or bo...

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but sometimes it's a simple answer??? What is causing the mold 600 not to adhere? I love to know....,maybe fat or oils...
