Mold on Salamis

[Olly Halleux]

Have noticed spots of white mold forming on my chorizo inside the casing. The Umai casing has separated completely from the sausage. 6 weeks in. 25% weight loss.

The mould is white. I have also noted it on one chub of Venison salami with the center of the spot being green/blue like rochfort cheese. 4 weeks 21% weight loss and umai sticking much better.

Was going to biff the blue/green one. Should I open the ones with white mold spots and wipe with vinegar and reseal?

Note: after negotiations i have recently brought fridge from the garage (winter is coming). My wife has been making sour dough bread in our kitchen and we often have a blue cheese in our main fridge. Source of contamination?

Cheers olly

UMAi Dry® will protect from cross contamination, but if the surface of the product doesn’t dry quickly enough mold will start to form. As long as it is white it is ok however if the humidity persists it will bloom into green and may get out of control. I would not open the chubs, but rather move them into a lower humidity fridge if you can.
