      I was all "hell ya I'm gonna get a drying chamber and do this" until you got to the part: 'AGE 24 MONTHS'
      I think I'm just gonna go buy some Prosciutto.😑

    I found your channel today whilst I was researching how to make prosciutto; your video is perfection in the making! You take the time to clearly explain and detail every step. Your video brought back memories of helping my daddy's momma and his sisters in the making and curing all of their own meats and cheeses. Nothing ever went to waste and everything was always delicious. It was always a treat whenever I was allowed to be in the ice house or the smoke house. It always smelled so wonderful. My Memaw or my Pappap, would let me eat my lunch of cheese, meat and a glass of fresh and cold cows milk or a glass of homemade root beer in a Mason jar, in the smoke house.
    Now they are all gone, except for my daddy's baby sister, who is almost 88 years old, but all of the wonderful memories keep me wrapped up in their love.
    Thank you so much,. I will be ordering an uncured ham from my butcher, so that I can teach my son how to make prosciutto and so that I can make memories for my son to carry within his heart.

    Hi Eric. In the world of prosciutto making there is a fair bit of hype. I am referring mainly to the international hams from Italy and Spain. Obviously the product is of a very high quality and the customer is charged accordingly. I am sure what you've made here is just as good, but without the hype. You have produced and epic video, something very special. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    ​Looked amazing. Always amazes me how the fat and meat transform during the dry curing and aging process. I have cured and aged a significant amount of pork and venison, and am still amazed every time by the transformation. If you had the space, could a whole beef leg be done the same way or would it necessitate other alterations to the process? I am figuring that the end result would be the same as bresaola or would the end product be vastly different due to extra fat and curing/drying/aging time being longer than for lean cuts used for bresaola?

    • @2guysandacooler
      @2guysandacooler  3 роки тому +1

      You could do a leg but the fat is different for been than pig so it wouldn't have the same texture. I think that the end result would be very similar to bresaola
