How to make fiocco at home.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1000 g pork leg fiocco part
- 27.5 g salt 2.75%; medium grain sea or kosher
- 2.5 g Cure #2 0.25%
- 1 g black pepper 0.1%
Instructions
- Debone and trim the ham into a uniform shape as shown in the instruction video in the post above.
- Weigh the meat in grams. Calculate how much of each ingredient you will need. If the meat weighs 1,650 grams, you will need 27.5 x 1.65 = 45.4 grams of salt, etc.
- Tie the meat with butchers twine as shown in the picture to give it a nice, rounded shape.
- Mix the salt, Cure #2, and black pepper together and apply evenly to the meat. Vacuum seal. Alternatively, you can place the meat and all the extra salt and pepper in a Ziploc bag and expel as much air as possible.
- Refrigerate for 14 days flipping the bag daily or so.
- After 2 weeks in the fridge, remove the meat from the bag, scrape the surface with the dull side of a knife.
- Insert the meat into a beef bung or a similar large natural casing, tie on both ends, prickle small holes all over with a sterilized needle, and truss with butchers twine.
- Weigh the meat and write it down on a tag. Add the date and attach the tag to the meat.
- Hang and dry in the curing chamber for about 7 days as per the schedule below in the note section.
- Mature in the curing chamber at 55F - 57F (13C - 14C) and 76% - 80% Rh for 7-8 months.
- When the meat is ready, remove the twine and the casing, slice paper-thin and enjoy. If the meat is too dry, soak in wine as per the notes in the post above.
