Saturday Meats! Soppersatta, Salami

[deplorablenc1]

So my plan was to make snack sticks with cheddar and plain today because my order from Waltons came in! I did get all of the mix done (and excellent protein extraction ) and put in bags to stuff tomorrow morning and smoke.
I did get my Sopersatta and Hard Salami mixed, stuffed, and hung in the curing chamber! Will keep y’all updated on its progress but looking good and smells good so far!
Hope y’all had a great Saturday, I will get my snack stick pics up tomorrow!

Looking fantastic! Have not tried making salami or hard sausages yet, but will!

deplorablenc1 oh man…I am envious! That all looks and sounds great! I’m working on some pepperoni snack sticks (and a large glass of brandy) with high temp Swiss cheese. The aroma is heavenly!

Joe Hell no fancy drinks here. Only vodka and lemonade or keystone light!

deplorablenc1 I gave up beer and sugar 16 months ago. I miss them dearly. The Sous Vide setup I shared recently is from my now unused beer brewing setup. I had only used it a handful of times before I gave up on beer. I’m hoping that is only temporary

Joe Hell making beer…I make wine once in a while but I never drink it, always bottle it and give it away. I think the next thing I explore into is making cheese!!!

deplorablenc1 I’ve been making wine and beer since I was about 18. I worked in the wine industry on and off for over 20 years. I was also the winemaker at my parents winery (Walla Walla Village Winery) until we closed a few years ago. Our label artist has some quite famous work you’ll likely recognize…google ‘Stanley Mouse’. Cheesemaking will be happening soon one way or another!

deplorablenc1 Finished his dry curing processing and I thought you guys might enjoy being able to see the process from start to finish!

All done!! Got them cut up and sealed today.
