I finished the salami  last night  .
i left it hanging for the night and in the morning i sliced the polish salami .
i will use it for my sammis. some salami  i will freeze for a rainy day.
i cut the Mexican  chorizo and i will use it to enhance flavors of mexican food that i'll cook .
or use it like that .
to taste it i mixed it in an Omelette it was yummy.

Those look outstanding.  Do you vac pack with casting on?  Why not remove during the slicing process?
