Beginners Salami & Chorizo Making Workshop

Date/Time Location Course facilitator
7 Jan 2023 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM Yaffingale House Denise Taylor & Zoe Chinman

Learn the basics of making a simple salami and chorizo, from the stuffing, to the fermentation process, the curing, and ultimately turn your excess minced meat into a delicious shelf stable product that doesn’t need refrigeration. Part of our food security and food independence series of workshops, this introduction to salami making will enable you to preserve excess pork and beef mince into a delicious product at less than 30% of the price.

We will look at the different types of casing for the salami and chorizo, different ways and equipment used to stuff your casings, as well as what flavourings you can use to flavour your meat.

We will then look at how to start the fermentation effectively, and how to cure your product at home without it going mouldy or the skin drying out. Using 500grams of Free Range Yaffingale Pork from Oxford Sandy & Black pigs, you will then make a 250g chorizo, and a 250g salami for you to take home, ferment and cure at home, and you will be eating this product within just 4 weeks. This workshop is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to make much more at home.

During the duration of the workshop, you will have the opportunity to taste home made salami and chorizo*, made from the same mince you will be using from the rare breed Oxford Sandy & Black free range pigs reared here.  Price includes 500grams of free range pork mince, as well as casings, flavourings, and everything you need to make and take home your own produce.

* This workshop is set in a family kitchen environment where cats and dogs have been / are present – Some salami’s also contain nuts. Please inform the host of any allergies and do not put yourself at risk.
