  1. This is my first attempt in years at making coppa. It was cured, and I am working on drying it out. The initial mass was 488g. We are about 2/3 of the way there. It had some spots show up that I didn't like, so I started washing it with dry sherry once a week or so. Big success; will do again.

    The first piece of guanciale is ready. It is the thinnest one and already lost just over 30% of its weight. It also was on the higher hook which gets more of the air flow from the wine cellar refrigeration unit. The two thicker pieces look like they will probably need another week and the other thinner piece maybe 3-4 more days.

    I’ll call this another success.

    Might try to hang them somewhere else in the cellar away from the air flow so can cure a bit more slowly just to compare.
