Many new things going on...



With all of the new items on the charcuterie plate, It has been selling really well. Everything on the plate is from the Mangalitsa pig we received a couple of months ago. I made some pork rinds and they came out great! I've been trying to make them for months now, doing a lot of research, but no methods have worked out so far. Finally found a way that they come out light and crispy. I've had some great customer feedback. After getting the mangalitsa, I found myself with with almost 8 pounds of back fat. I cured all of it and was coming up with different ways to flavor it. With one piece I decided to smoke it with hickory wood chips. Along with those two items, I have 2 different types of coppa. I have one thats cured in a cuban spice. This one is sweeter and tastes great. The other coppa is cured more traditionally, in a spicier crust. The finochionna is also ready. This is the first salami that I have made with the mangalitsa.
