Instructions
  1. Meat is manually boned, which enables the thorough removal of sinews, gristle and connective tissue.
  2. Cut the meat into 1/8” (3 mm) pieces.
  3. Cut fat into 1/8” (3 mm) pieces.
  4. Mix lean meat with all ingredients. Add fat and remix.
  5. Stuff into 65 mm fibrous casings forming 6-22” (15-54 cm) long links.
  6. Apply a thin cold smoke at 12° C (54° F) for 12-14 days using beech wood. Cold smoking is not a continuous process, it can be interrupted often, however, the temperature of 12° C shoud be maintained. You are drying the meat with smoke.
  7. Place sausages in a fermenting/drying room at 16° C (60° F), 86-90% humidity to permit the growth of mold. The drying process continues for 2-3 months depending on the diameter (not the length) of the sausage at 60-90% humidity. The total production time from filling the sausages is at least 90 days.
Notes
The sausage should be evenly covered with white noble mold. For a better particle definition commercial producers cut meat and fat on bowl cutters. In home production using grinder is acceptable.
