A flavorful, cured, and spiced meat that undergoes a slow preservation process, resulting in tender, aromatic slices perfect for sandwiches or charcuterie boards

  Method  

Salting & Curing

  • Roll the meat in coarse salt and place it on a perforated tray.

  • Put a weight on top and refrigerate for 10 days (4 days per kg of meat).

  • After 2 days, top up the salt on all sides.

  • On day 4, drain the liquid from the tray.

Desalting & Drying

  • After 10 days, rinse the meat well under running water.

  • Submerge it in a large bowl of water for 24 hours.

  • Dry it very well and wrap it in cotton cloth.

  • Hang it outside for 15-20 days, at temperatures 3-17°C.

Spicing & Final Curing

  • Prepare the spice mix and apply a 3-4 mm thick layer of spice paste to the meat.

  • Wrap it in cheesecloth and hang it outside again for 15-20 days, at 3-17°C.

Serving

  • Slice it thinly and enjoy!
