  • After the pršut comes out of the press give it a few days to dry then wash the excess salt off the face and skin. At this point my pršut has lost about 20% of the ideal target weight, as soon as it reaches 30% I'm going to lard my face. (Yes, that sounds weird)

    Looks great. How long did you keep them in the press?
    I guess you are opting not to smoke them... is that just a flavour preference?

      Should be in the press for about 10 days, mine were a little longer, probably closer to 14. I didn't smoke these this year, wanted to try them with no smoke. Next year I'll smoke a few for comparison sake.

    Very exciting watching the progress. A humble suggestion ...put shade on the window: the fat won't appreciate that light over the long haul.

    just found you channel. Great stuff! I am starting to put together a curing chamber so i can start drying/curing meats. Thanks for sharing your great work!! I am south of Chicago and will have to check out the meat supplier you mention in your other video.

      FYI I'm going to try a new place this year for pork, local farm in Illinois. Pricing was fair and I think the pork is better quality.

    Do you smoke the pršut at all throughout process? Or just salt?

    • @VelebitMountainMan
      @VelebitMountainMan  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just salt, you can smoke it but this year I just did salt.

    The best humidity and temp. for the time of maturation ?

    • @VelebitMountainMan
      @VelebitMountainMan  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      65- 70% humidity with temps ranging from 60F to 80F until you lard the face, once larded you can lower the humidity a bit.

    What do you think about wash the prsut red wine ? When next video ? :P

      I don't think it's a bad idea, the alcohol would kill any mold spores. Right now the pršut is in the cure chamber losing 30% of their weight. Once they hit 30% I'm going to lard their face and leave them for the summer. I think we're close maybe another week or two.
