This week we are making Calabrese Salami. This awesome Salami is known for it's spicy and smoky notes. The recipe will be posted below.

This is a slight variation from Stanley Mariansky's Calabrese Recipe. The original recipe can be found here: https://www.meatsandsausages.com/sausage-recipes/fermented/italian/salami-calabrese. If you want Stanley's book (highly recommend) check out the links below..

For 5 pounds of Salami (can be multiplied to make more)
3.5 pounds of lean pork (1589 grams)
1.5 pounds of Back fat (681 Grams)
(or you can use 5 pounds of fatty Boston Butt aka pork shoulder)

2.24 ounces (64 grams) of kosher salt
.2 ounces (5.67 grams) of cure #2
.08 ounce (2.27 grams) Dextrose
.04 ounce (1.25 grams) sugar
.16 ounce (4.54 grams) pepper
.32 ounce of Calabrese peppers flakes (9.08 grams)
.16 ounce (4.54) smoked paprika
.16 ounce (4.54 teaspoons) fennel powder
TSP-X starter Culture 1/4 tsp mixed with 2 tablespoons of water
Red Wine 2 Tablespoons.
Mold-600

Chill meat and grind it through a 10mm plate. Mix starter culture with water and let it rehydrate. Mix meat, seasonings, and starter culture together. Stuff into casings. Weigh, prick, and apply mold 600. Set in an area to ferment. Ferment at 68F with 85% Humidity for 72 hours. Check ph. Once the ph has dropped to below 5.3 but is still above 5.0 place it in your drying chamber. Dry at 55F and 80% humidity till 35% - 38% weight loss has happened. Remove from Chamber and enjoy with some nice cheese, fruit, and fresh bread. To store wrap tightly and keep refrigerated.
