Throughout time, sausage makers have relied on beneficial molds to cover their dry-cured salumi. Beneficial molds suppress wild indigenous molds, yeasts and bacteria. They also assist in preventing case hardening, as their white covering regulates release of moisture during the drying process. MOLD 800 will also improve salumi with flavor development. This beneficial mold is laboratory created and extremely safe to use. With proper application and inoculation, MOLD 800 is fast growing and will produce a dense, medium to fluffy surface coverage and a fresh Camembert aroma.
