I tried pancetta. We have a high population of Italians here locally and the imported pancetta is hard to compete with. When I made mine I put it in a small frig in the basement (too warm of a basement to hang cure).
I did cover the meat with Bactoferm mold (the white stuff found on sausages). I also put a jar with white vinegar in the frig.
The white mold hardly grew. The vinegar I think kill off everything.

Hi Daniel,

hope this helps - happy holidays
