I seriously love your channel! Thank you for showing us all these classic Italian cured meats and the process. I have made guanciale, capicola and pancetta with your help. Would love to get you on our foodie podcast... Thanks again from California!
OH MY WORD!!!!!!! Do I like it? I could not wait another week. I had to take one out now and see. I made smaller ones using hog casings. WE LOVE IT! I can't believe I made it. We had some soppressata from the only Italian supermarket I know that sells it. Grocery stores ones are awful. It was ok not nearly as good as your recipe. I made about 10 links. Just a small batch to see if we like it. I will make at least a 10 lb batch to have on hand and PROUDLY give as gifts to family and friends! Mine has a little heat too and the wine is a great touch! GRAZIE SIGNORE!!!! I will post your channel on all my social media I hang out in!
I just found your channel and I am obsessed on learning how to cook like an Italian, This is the best video so far for making Soppressata.. I am going to try and make this it looks delicious.. Thank you for sharing your recipe with all of us.
hi guys...i used 1000 grams of pork shoulder roast.....but if u follow pieros recipe exactly....its delicious...truly delicious....give it a try....its the real deal....thanks piero .... awesome....jackie g
I just took one of the pieces of the soppressata out using the hog casings!!! YES SIR!!! a little over 3 weeks and it's the best ever! Thank you for your valuable info! Now I will make 10 lbs without batting an eye! lol
Good morning Chef! I finally made Sopressata on Sunday 🙂 Living in Thailand it is too hot to leave it at room temperature for 48 hours. I had to hang it in the fridge. My whole fridge smells wonderful! I hope that by putting them in the fridge right away will not alter the results. Besides touching and feeling the salami to determine the readiness - should we also determine it by weight loss as well? I notice that some say we should aim for weight loss of about 35%?
Thank you so much for preparing this VDO - I love it! What kind of casing do you use and how wide is it ... 5 - 6 cm? I see there are many types of casing - hog, lamb and collagen - which one is best for salami? Gracie!!
Good afternoon Chef! I have a question. Normally before you eat pork (or chicken) you have to make sure that is is well cooked, otherwise you can get sick. Why is it that we can eat salami or other dried pork and be ok? Is it the evaporation of liquid that makes it ok - or is it the spices that cooked it and make is safe to eat?
The red pepper sauce was sweet? I have both Calabrian sweet and hot red pepper sauce, what would you recommend. I like spicy sausage myself. Thanking you in advance for your help. Brian
Ive made sausage secca for many years. Always use shoulder, I'm interested in the loin with belly and fat. Is this just as good? Do you prefer it this way? Interesting. Grazie mille.
Ciao ! ! The casing is pork or beef casings ? My cousin says I can find large pork casings to make soprasatta ? I think only the beef casings would be large enough correct ? Also what are your thoughts on the non natural casings ? Molte grazie !! Buona fortuna tutti !!
Ciao Mark. The large size is beef. If you find the natural casings is much better. If you need any help let me know. Grazie mille e buona fortuna anche a te. Ciaoooo 😁😁😁😁
@@CookingwithanItalian I'm asking if that's what you did? Or did you let it sit in the fridge with the weight on it? The video makes it appear you left it on the counter for 2 days. I'd think meat would spoil setting out for 2 days on the counter.
@@hoobeydoobey1267 I believe he left it out for 48hrs, like his other fermented charcuterie. Fermentation encourages/starts creating good bacteria to help with preservation. There is about 1 million hours of video on YT explaining it.
Ciao, i frigoriferi di casa hann un po' di ventilazione, non è la stessa cosa dei frigo professionali. Ma ti posso garantire che in piccole quantità io faccio salumi a casa da più di 25 anni. Prova e fammi sapere. Ciaoooo. 😁😁
Ok thank u . I watched your video and I like it a lot so they way u make yours just sea salt is enough for curing the meat in the fridge does the fridge have to be set to a certain temperature and to know when it is cured am I looking for hardness thank u
In your soppressata recipe I see you DO NOT use a starter culture is that correct or a curing chamber. I want to make it with your recipe but what can I substitute for red pepper sauce I cannot eat anything hot or very spicy.
I don't use any starter cultures, and not curing salt. Only natural sea salt. Red pepper sauce is simple you can bay in supermarket. Let me know if you need any help. 👋👋
@@CookingwithanItalian I love your recipe since it does not contain any starter cultures or curing salts but: 1) is there any specific / important tips to follow to ensure all goes good/safe when doing it this way without curing salts or starter cultures etc? 2a) In the video you stated you have been doing salumi for 30 yrs. Have you ever had any issues when not using curing salts? b) what temperature (and % humidity if known) were you drying the sopressata when doing it outside the fridge (I assume a cold room or cantina)? 3) You also stated you have been drying it in the fridge for about 10 yrs. Have you ever noticed/tasted that the sopressata may indeed take on fridge odors in the final cured meat? 4) Lastly did you ever make your red pepper sauce video ? Thank you for sharing.

Thank you very much 😁😁
I am always fascinated by Italian cured meats. They are far more varied compared to my country's. This one's nice...
Thank you very much and I hope you try it. Ciaoooo 😁😁
my favorite cold cut is spicy sopressata
Excellent.I do it similar but with Kielbasa casings. Basically cuts the dry time to 3 weeks to 30 days for the bigger,longer ones.
👍👍👋👋
well dang, why didn't I think of that! I am planning on making it next week. GREAT IDEA! I have plenty of those.
Let me know if you need any help. 👋👋

Beautiful Thailand, live the salami at least 8 /10 h.
Yes 35/40% is correct. Ciaoooo 👋👋👋

All skin is good, l prefer natural asck your butcher. Pork skin is more comune. If you want make a big salami you need beef skin. 👋👋
@@CookingwithanItalian Grazie mille 🙂 ... how wide ? ... how many centimeter?
55mm skin
@@CookingwithanItalian Grazie mille!! 🙂
If you need any help let me know. Ciaoooo

The sea salt make it safe.
@@CookingwithanItalian Just the salt! WOW! Thank you chef 🙂
Best video I’ve seen so far! Wonderful…thank you! Also, does it drip while curing in the frig?
Thank you very much 👋👋
太喜欢您的杰作了

The red pepper sauce was sweet? I have both Calabrian sweet and hot red pepper sauce, what would you recommend. I like spicy sausage myself. Thanking you in advance for your help. Brian
The sauce you both is perfect. If you like spicy put in. 👋👋
SUPER 😘🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Grazie mille ❤️❤️

Shoulder and belly is very good. I use loin because I like less fat, and tastes very good. Ciaoooo 👋👋👋

The sausage was pressed at room temp for 48 hours and didn't spoil?
Maybe the weight wasn't enough.

Also, do you continue to store it in the refrigerator, do you freeze it for future use?
Live in the fridge. 😁😁
Live in the fridge. You can keep it in the fridge 3/4 month. 👍
@@CookingwithanItalian Thank you so much!
ciao, quindi puoi curare la soppressata in frigo? non hai bisogno di ventilazione?
Ciao, i frigoriferi di casa hann un po' di ventilazione, non è la stessa cosa dei frigo professionali. Ma ti posso garantire che in piccole quantità io faccio salumi a casa da più di 25 anni. Prova e fammi sapere. Ciaoooo. 😁😁
@@CookingwithanItalian thank you
@@CookingwithanItalian thank you
👍👍😁😁 Ciao.
When you press down you leave out?
I leave it out for 24h.
Grazie
To make sopprasata do u have to add the pork belly or is the pork loin good enough
Yes pork belly is important. 😁😁
Ok thank u . I watched your video and I like it a lot so they way u make yours just sea salt is enough for curing the meat in the fridge does the fridge have to be set to a certain temperature and to know when it is cured am I looking for hardness thank u
And is bacon considered pork belly can I use that as well when mixing in the pork

4) Lastly did you ever make your red pepper sauce video ?
Thank you for sharing.
you should tell the people the spices that are used is for how much meat that meat looks really fat not lean at all
