I really like eating salami or hard sausage, but peeling it is usually a tedious affair. Furthermore, it is important to store the hard sausage correctly and also to know how long it lasts. Here I have collected and prepared a lot of interesting information:
Important information about salami/hard sausage
Easy peeling of salami
Briefly dip the sausage in ice-cold water; this makes the skin firmer and you can pull it off in one go.
How long does salami last?
An air-dried salami can be kept for 2-3 months if uncut; as soon as you cut into a salami, this shelf life is reduced to 2-3 weeks. Due to the curing salt, an uncut salami can be kept for several months even after the best-before date. The salami is preserved by the high salt content.
How do I recognize if a salami is still good?
If a salami is bad, it generally forms a greasy film as well as an unpleasant smell and taste, and it also changes its color.
How do I store a salami?
Salami should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place. The perfect storage temperature is between 15 and 20 °C, so it can be stored well in a pantry or cellar. Salami can also be stored in the refrigerator, but it is not necessary. Salami can also be frozen.
If the salami is cut, store it in the refrigerator, preferably in a clean container, so that it does not come into contact with other foods.
