Quina pintaca mes bona te aquest fuet!! Bravo!!

[@goofyahhunai]

From Spain: Looks just delicious! You nailed it.

[@heitorvr]

This recipe is incredible, a strong hug from Brazil.

[@2guysandacooler]

Thank you very much

[@duncanhenry]

You are the best Salami maker on the internet! Thanks again for another great video Eric.

[@2guysandacooler]

Hey Duncan. Thanks for the excellent comment. Thanks for watching!

[@LittleBearBBQ_Food_Original]

Thank You so much for all of your Charcuterie knowledge and sharing that with us all. Also, those Smokin' It Smokers are something else! I was seriously looking at importing one into the UK, but it was an absolute pain thanks to our Customs and Shipping regulations etc. So, went for a little Cookshack instead. Once again, many thanks for sharing all of your knowledge with us all and showing that Home Charcuterie is achievable.

[@ВиталийШамов-ь3м]

Отличная работа! С технологической точки зрения сделано безупречно! ❤

[@dorull83]

i just love Catalonian Fuet, there is just something bout the taste that makes me go crazy.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Another great video Eric! Salami making is the next step for me. Thanks so much for this information.👍

[@2guysandacooler]

I can't wait to see what kind of fun and creative salami you make!! Salami making is certainly next level charcuterie. I have mad respect for the salami maker 😁😁

[@vaazig]

I love fuet and the cured Llonganissa de pagès which is usually drier and has a strong mould cover. Thanks for the video.

[@davephillips7550]

Your T on the tag was partially left on the countertop. Lol. Love the series

[@2guysandacooler]

Lol. I just noticed 🤣🤣

[@C-Mah]

Great content. Is there a video on how long the different types last?

[@rcb17pilot20]

Thanks for making this salami, it's my favorite salami, and I will definitely try your recipe.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Wow what a unique salami! I really enjoyed this! Love the mold transfer!

Just Great!

Hi Eric, there's a dried sausage sold in France at large supermarkets. It's simply called Saucisson Sec au Roquefort. Dry pork sausage with Roquefort cheese. It is divine. I've experimented with making it myself over the years but wondered if you had ever made it before? Maybe a candidate for Season 3? 🙂

[@2guysandacooler]

ohhh!! never made it but sounds awesome!!

[@duncanjames914]

@@2guysandacooler My all-time favourite dry-cured sausage. It is truly amazing.

[@Blazingstar75]

I love fuet, when there is a sale on it, I usually get it no matter what.

[@shawntwheeler1]

Where do you buy it

[@Blazingstar75]

@@shawntwheeler1 I live in Costa Rica, it is not something you typically find as it is a Spanish product. I buy it on a Distributor that imports it from Spain, or a fancy super market that has Spanish products in stock.

[@mad-gre-ekaekog2170]

This is one of my favourite Serrano ever I eat it by the tone if I was there I would most like eat your whole fridge my mouth is watering

[@gemamariaqueipomiranda513]

It's not a Serrano but am glad you like it

[@tiusica]

I’m slowly gathering all I need to start making fuet. Does it really taste like the one found in Barcelona? Is garlic part of the original recipe? I never thought it had garlic in it. The best one they have is the Fuet Espetec Extra. Thanks

[@mitchketterling4211]

Eric I enjoy watching your videos I do a lot of summer sausages canning fish now I want to cure sausage and you are a big help the you

[@charlesa3374]

Eric...HELP! I made 5lbs of this great sausage recently...exactly as shown in this video. Upon completion, I vacuumed packed the salamis and placed them in the refrigerator. They've been in storage for about 3 weeks now and I opened one of the packages. The salami had a slimy surface (used mold 600) and had an 'off' taste. What went wrong? This is not the first time I've made this recipe, but the first time for vacuum packing. Should I toss the lot?

[@dfbess]

Looks good Eric..

[@tiyans]

hi just a question, if wrapping the meat increases humidity, on ur other vids, you wrap the meat that you would use for ph test, while the others just hang unwrapped? would there be a difference in ph then or just neglible if there is?

[@KowboyUSA]

Looks delicious.

[@mikeschiavone137]

I have watched several of your videos and have a generic question. After several bad batches I started following the guidance in the Marianski book "The Art of Making Fermented Sausages". When fermentation is complete, they suggest gradually lower the humidity. Your videos don't say you do that, so curious do you adjust it gradually to get to the drying humidity level as a common practice or do you go directly to the drying humidity? One of the issues I had was case hardening so adjusting it gradually made sense. Though I have learned the hard way that keeping a high humidity presents other challenges.

[@2guysandacooler]

I don't particularly like that method as it will limit your ability to add new product. My advice is 80% humidity all the time, no need to adjust. If you've been watching my videos then you'll see the results for yourself. I keep my chamber at 80% and 55f (i've had it like this for the past 5 years). If you are having case hardening then perhaps you might have too much air flow in your chamber or your chamber needs to be dialed in based off of how the compressor kicks on. Just a thought.

[@foodpimpz9086]

Great channel and content, thanks!

Where you a public speaker? You deliver flawlessly.

[@2guysandacooler]

Thank you. I am very comfortable doing public speaking. 😀

[@ifvmes6788]

hello, no way to find the chemical ingredients in Philippines or Asia. Could you be more explicit or mention alternative ingredients? thanks

[@stevensouillard5997]

Hey! Its a little old for this comment but I’m looking to try this out but dont have the budget for a salami chamber yet. Could I use this recipe and would it work with the Umai drying bags or would it require more ingredients for the meat itself. Thanks!

[@2guysandacooler]

This can be used with umai. You wouldn't get the mold coverage but the rest would work

[@stevensouillard5997]

@@2guysandacooler Awesome thanks! MY family fights for the little fuet we get to have so why not make more!

[@angelogadea78]

Hi Love watching your videos. I followed your Fuet recipe and I’m into day 10. I had a PH reading of 5.3 after 36hrs. I’ve develop a white substance around the Fuet naturally, in the wine cooler I set up. Temp ave 13°c and humidity 80%. In the time of drying I notice I’ve lost 40%+ in weight and still soft when squeezed. The ends are firm. Should I leave it for the 3 to 4 week period to firm more? The appearance and smell are great. Cheers, AG

[@2guysandacooler]

Yep. Leave it to dry till you reach the desired hardness

[@TheWingnut58]

Would eating the mold be dangerous to someone who is allergic to penicillin?

[@gabrielgaset710]

Hi there! Im from Buenos aires, argentina! first, i really enjoy watching your videos, its helps a lot to me and my charcuterie. Second, i have a question. In your website is the recipe for making this catalonian fuet, and it says 5gr minced garlik and 50ml wine PER KILO. We make 50kg batches, and the equality of thats seems to be A LOT GARLIC and A LOT of wine. Its correct to use 500g minced garlic and 2500ml of whine? thx, love your videos!!!

[@2guysandacooler]

I know it seems like a lot but 50kg is a bunch of fuet 😁😁. The recipe is scalable so I would say yes, it's correct

[@ScottRogerson]

Thanks! Does the mold change or add to the flavor?

[@2guysandacooler]

Yes. It gives it a slightly different flavor. Cheesy, mushroom flavor

[@gregjarman5546]

ive been watching alot of your videos. what do you use if you are allergic to penicillin?

[@2guysandacooler]

I would use a product called potassium sorbate. It keeps mold from growing on your salami. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpzTnGeNp8pse9k Alternatively you could use the UMAI bags and do refrigerator salami which will not grow mold,,,

[@tinama1786]

I got a question, the fuet I made is pretty soft and not firm, when you press the surface , dents will occur. Do you know why, my weight loss up to 38-40%

[@2guysandacooler]

do you have it in a drying chamber?

[@runnttii]

Made 9 1/2 pounds of Fuet. After 2 weeks, it's already reached it's 35 percent weight loss, but it's way too soft to the touch. Temp and humidity are spot on in the aging chamber. I'm going to let it go to 40 or 45 percent. Any thoughts?

[@2guysandacooler]

Sounds legit. The more it dries the more firm it will become.

[@kubadzierzawski]

I strongly believe that it is / it can be exactly the same Penicillum Candidum that we use to add in the process of cheesemaking. Am i wrong?

[@2guysandacooler]

You are correct. You can use basically any beneficial mold

[@MartinPHellwig]

Thank you for showing us, Fuet is my favourite, probably because it's so forgiving to make, even if I buy it in the supermarket it's still delicious. However I do have a question, if I would like more penicillin cover (I just love that aspect of that taste), how would I achieve that?

[@jacklawson1367]

Perhaps by spraying it on?

[@jsust]

I think a sausage gone wrong video would be great. unless you never have any failures

[@2guysandacooler]

lol. I'm sure I can screw one up for a special video😁

[@tinama1786]

Hi , What is the ripening temp and humidity? And air flow?

[@2guysandacooler]

humidity 90%+ and temp needs to be between 75f -85f. No air flow needed for ripening

[@tinama1786]

@@2guysandacooler won’t 90% humidity too high for ripening? I know the mold will grow very fast under this humidity and this will impact the drying process

[@2guysandacooler]

@@tinama1786 No. When it comes to fermenting (ripening) salami you want the high humidity. Salami will ferment within 24-72 hours and the high humidity will prevent the salami from drying out during that time. Also you want strong mold growth on many of your salami. This actually aids in the drying and balancing of the ph. So if you watch any of my salami making videos you will see this in actual practice. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@davidlebowitz198]

Just made it today. I'll let you know how it turns out - my version is 100% beef though (halal/kosher)...

[@SakuraScythe]

You didnt let us know...

[@juanchuj]

Hi Eric. Great video. Thank you so much for sharing. What can I do if after 24 hours my pH is just over 5.2? Should I keep it longer until I reach the 4.9?

[@2guysandacooler]

Correct. Let it ferment longer. Figure another 6-8 hours

[@juanchuj]

@@2guysandacooler 8 more hours have passed. Still 5.2-5.3.

[@2guysandacooler]

@@juanchuj what culture did you use, what sugar are you using, and what 5emp are you fermenting at. Also what pH meter are you using to test the ph
