Charcuterie
The wife and I are trying our hand at charcuterie....Bresaola on the left and hot Capoccola on the right. We'll see if we are successful in a few weeks...

We don't have the production scale, yet, to support a commercial operation...

We have an older dorm fridge that is temp controlled and circulates the air. The room itself cool enough but we are a little paranoid about leaving it out completely.
My grandmother used a cold room in their basement in St. Louis to hang their salami, etc and I bet we'd be fine....but the wife wants to try it in the fridge.
Ditalia sells lots of Volpi salami. Volpi's production facility is right across the street from that grandmother's old house. Years ago I used to link into Volpi's wi-fi when I was visiting (before they got around to securing it). We always pick some up when in town. If you visit Volpi's retail store on Edwards, you can buy the proscuitto ends cheap. Some are pretty good sized and are great for sauces and use in pastas....
damn, now I'm hungry and want to visit home....

Thanks all. My wife did the lion's share of the work and I just did what she told me so she gets the credit. For our first effort, we are very happy with it.
We will definitely be doing it again. The Mortadella was easier than I expected and enables more immediate reward as it is cooked and you don't have to cure it. We made that the day before we cut the cured meats. For these few weeks, the whole basement smelled like a Salumeria...
My wife made a couple loaves of Ciabatta, bought some cheese, opened a bottle of wine and quite the lunch. No one was very hungry for dinner that night.

That looks awesome. A glass of Pinot Noir. Some stinky cheese. A few olives and some crusty bread. Well done.
