Spent last weekend making up a batch of Len Poli's "favourite" salami recipe. I had made this about a year ago and enjoyed it so I thought I'd use up a bunch of frozen meat to clear up some freezer space. Last year I actually sprayed the finished stuffed salami with a mold culture to kick-start the white mold on the outside. This year I decided to go natural... and as of yesterday some spots of white mold have started to grow on the casings (protein lined fibrous). This is where my paranoia starts to kick in and I start to second guess whether it is "good" mold or "nasty" mold. It's most definately white, so that's a good sign... but I can't decide if it's "powdery" or "fuzzy" :-
Anyone with dry curing experience care to offer an opinion? The photo was taken with my iPhone... so it's not great. I might get out the real camera tonight and take a proper shot if this isn't good enough...
