wrapped in coloagen sheet and netting then Sprayed down with mould 600 and hung to dry till it loses 35% of its original weight.

Cheese will live up top in sealed containers to stop cross contamination of the moulds.

That all looks amazing Bluc,
You cannot beat home made stuff like that as you know exactly what went into it to get the flavours you love.
I agree with the comment you have way too much time on your hands though

+ one on sending down a good sized sample to SA and it could be a good reason for a get together, share each others hooch and if it tastes off just bite on a lump of Bluc's stuff to mellow the taste :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

It almost looks like a brisket mate.

Looks amazing whatever it is. Now what to drink to add to the occasion

[bluc]

Cured then dried pork. Not cooked at all just cured with nitrate salt and dried in a controlled enviroment to 35% weight loss.. Same as prosciutto but from a different part of the pig the neck,called pork scotch fillet here in Aus, Rather then the leg where proscuitto comes from. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Wellsy]

Sounds fantastic.
I am salivating just thinking about the amazing taste it must produce.
You just can’t buy stuff like that in the shops, it is never the same.

Once I get this distilling worked out that will be my next project, another 25 years and I can start thinking about a smoke room lol
