First Bresaola

In all it came out pretty good. Flavorful, but a bit early on the cutting. Almost there. It did loose 40% of its weight though and since its my first, well, just didnt know by feel.

So can this continue to be stored in the chamber??

Yes, it can be kept int he chamber, and the flavor will even improve more. When it hits the optimal aging time (not yet hardening, but silky soft mouth feel) I usually slice and vacuum pac the lot of it.

BTW, fine looking bresaola there. What cut of meat did you use?

It was cut from a sirloin tip. Next one will be the whole sirloin tip rather than cut it into the casing.
