Hold the stuffed soppressata at about 55°F for another 48 hours. Place the sausage in a smokehouse. Apply cold smoke for 48 hours until the desired color is obtained. After smoking, keep the soppressata at a temperature of 50-60°F with a humidity level of around 70-80%. This aging process should continue for about 8-10 weeks.
