Coro Foods Mole Salami

This unique salami shows off the creative but well-balanced flavor combinations that artisan salumi producer Coro Foods is known for. Inspired by the warming, deep spices of Mexican mole sauce, this cured salami features a blend of cocoa, cinnamon and chipotle—rather than the flat saltiness of many dried meat products. A very subtle sweetness and richness from the cocoa is offset by a moderate level of spice from chipotle. For all of their salami, Coro starts with American Humane-certified, antibiotic-free pork with a just-right fat-to-meat ratio and top-notch marbling and texture. The secret behind their salami? A long, slow aging, complete with a celery salt cure, hand-stuffing every salami and meticulously controlling the humidity and temperature in the curing room. We love that Coro pre-peels their casings—so you don’t have to—which means that you can slice the salami straight out of the vacuum-seal packaging.

How to use

How does curing work?

Technically, any process that preserves meat—whether it involves aging, brining, canning or salting—qualifies as curing. Salt is a critical ingredient in any of these options: It removes moisture from meat, which prevents the growth of microorganisms and prevents spoilage, often for years. (In fact, the oldest recorded methods of preserving meat all feature salt heavily.) Coro Foods has innovated on the age-old tradition by developing their own proprietary curing agent starring celery salt, which imparts flavor as well as does the important work of conserving.
