How many days are enough for curing a 1.5 kilos piece of beef, for making bresaola?

Is it right to spay bresaola with white mold (using commercial salami), without using any casing?

You can dry it without casing - but they seem more prone to case-hardening if you do. So keep a close eye on it.

My recipe for Coppa, including paprika, for covering the meat, before hang it.
What do you think?

Hi!!

My coppa and bresaola are going fine!
I don' t have a curing chamber, but I hanged them in a dark, cold and wet room.
The temperature now is about 15-16 C and the humidity is about 65-75%.

I won't be here next week and I think that the weather will go hot!
So the temperature will be about 20C. :(

What do you think about putting coppa and bresaola in the fridge?
The temperature will be about 6C and the humidity about 45-55%.

Thank you!

The fridge temp won't be a problem - but that RH will.Maybe put a tray of salt and water in with them - that's salt with enough water to make is slushy. It should increase the RH, but try it beforehand to see that it works.

Phil, I think that higher RH will be very wet.

About 20 days ago, I put the salamis in the fridge, because the temperature was about 20C.

The salamis were a little wet outside.

What do you think?

At 6°C a RH of 70% shouldn't be 'very wet'.

It's your call, but 45 - 55% is very low, especially when combined with a low temperature.

Delicious bresaola..!!

I didn't put it inside casing and it is a little dry some mm outside.
But it is delicious.
Next time I will not use any cinnamon and clove.

They are spices that need a gentle hand when used in meat.
