Slime/ Grease on Coppa
I've been dry curing my first attempt at Coppa. I used the Marianski dry cure recipe. It was cured 18 days and stuffed into a beef bung. It's been drying about 45 days right now. It smells great and some white mold has appeared however 1 side keeps getting a layer of grease/slime. I've wiped it off with vinegar and water, dried it and put it back in the chamber and this grease keeps coming back. Is this normal? Healthy? Temp has been between 54-59 in the chamber and 65-75% humidity
It should be fine Justin. I have had areas on beef (middle) casings that never grow mold for some reason.
Look at the pics of the Coppa on page 2 of this thread. Seems similar to what you describe.
