It's a weird question, but have you ever seen black deposits in sheep fat? They are gelatinous, and not like the other fat. I found them in the visceral fat and on the fat on the leg. I harvested a yearling that seemed to have a text book case of listeriosis from some mulch hay I used on a landowners earthwork. Now I'm not sure if I should eat any more of it.
Actually no.... Preserving food, in a natural sense doesn't make it last forever. Like a good wine, it gets better with age. Traditional food preservation reaches its peak and the starts to deteriorate, until it is no longer consumable.

Trying our first ham right now. Only Been in the salt a day and a half. Already seeing so much liquid coming out of it.
Update.
Our Christmas hams were amazing.
