Dry curing meat


I have been in the meat smoking business in the deep south for 30 years and have never had a reason to dry cure

meat until know. I do dry cured hams but I want to expand my product list.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Arnie

Dear Arnie

How can I help you?

What kind of dry cured meat products do you want to make?

You can get in contact with me through email: karsten@schellhasfoodtechnology.com.

Cheers,

Karsten

Getting into that myself too. My state is looking for a HACCP plan from me for these type products. Just started making a cured uncooked shelf stable coppa & lonza.
Arnie, are you required to have a HACCP plan for your products?

When I was in the wholesale end I did but now I am all retail, no HACCP plan,

but I still run my shop as if it was my USDA plant.

For most part Dry Cure WHole Muscle HACCP should cover all types hams or coppas or pancetta and lomo etc.

Coppa
5% salt (before all spices)
We used the longisimus dorsi out of the boston butt. Every 1000lbs bnls butt yields about 250lb avg "pork chuck eye" for coppa 750lb for sausage fresh or dry

Roll in salt/spice blend
stuff into bung 5" plus
stuff into netting 6 to a strand leaving room in between each piece
18 days min 35 - 40 degrees (per usda coppa regs)
hang strands 55F 75rH upwards of 3 months easy
dry to below .88 aw

slice thin eat lots
