Welcome to the channel. Today we are making Salami di Fileto. This incredible and unique Italian Charcuterie is more a work of art than a Salami. To make this salami requires some skill and if you can pull it off the end result is nothing short of a salami masterpiece. I hope you enjoy the video. Let me know if you have any questions.

Step 2. Make the salami Mince
70% Lean Pork
30% Back Fat
2.5% Salt
.30% pepper
.25% Cure #2
.35% minced garlic
.3% fennel Seed
.1% Sugar
.2% Dextrose
2% Non Fat Milk Powder
1/2 tsp “Flavor of Italy” Starter Culture per 5#’s of meat (dissolved in 1/4 cup water)
Be sure to keep meat chilled. Grind on 6mm plate (1/4 inch) and mix very well till it becomes very tacky (this helps the filet bind to the salami). Spread mince on collagen sheet and place cured filet on top. Roll together to form salami and secure with elastic netting.
Ferment Salami between 74F-90F at 80-90% humidity for 24 hours. Place in drying chamber at temp 55f and 80% humidity till you achieve 35-40% weight loss.
