Works great in my salami
I have been making whole muscle charcuterie for several years and get rave reviews. I finally tried making salami and used TSP in my first batch [snack sticks and Ventriccina (thanks Eric from 2guysandacooler)] I got great reviews from three chef's (two Italian), and Italian self professed gourmet, another chef, and also a manager of an italian restaurant}.
For my second try I decided to use Flavor of Italy in my next batch since everyone says how great it is (and it turns out my TSP was expired). I made double batches of the snack sticks, and Ventriccina, and also tried Finnochiona, and Sopprasetta Breciana (credit TasteofArtisan).
So far only my snack stick are done, but I did not get the results other fans of this product seem to have had. I did not get the rapid ph drop. In fact it only went to barely 5.2 over 2 days (for all my several batches). Nor did I get any color benefit, or any enhanced flavor result. The snack sticks came out only so-so relative to the first batch. The other salamis coming due in the next couple weeks and I am seriously hoping they come out decently.
It is frutrating to buy something for 3x the price, wait 12 weeks or more and get poor results. That said, it could always be me, but my track record has been pretty good. If things change I will post an update if I am able. Otherwise I am back to TSP. I give 3 stars here, because I am not certain it is all the starter or something else.
