What does “cured” mean?
Curing is the process of preserving meat by rubbing it with a mixture of salt and spices. Over 1 to 4 weeks, this mixture—known as the "cure"—penetrates the meat, drawing out moisture and creating an environment that prevents bacterial growth. Once the meat is fully cured, it becomes safe to hang and dry in a temperature and humidity controlled refrigerator for about 1 month. The cured meat develops a firmer texture and takes on a vibrant, reddish hue.
How do I store my meats?
Our products are shelf stable at room temperature, however for best quality, store in your refrigerator between 33F and 40F.

How long will everything keep once opened?
Once opened, it can stay fresh for up to a month if properly stored. To maintain quality, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, place in a zip bag, or use butcher/wax paper to minimize oxygen exposure. Cured meats have been crafted for centuries without refrigeration, and as long as they're protected from oxygen, light, and extreme heat, they are made to last.
