I’ve been keeping this small salami in the fridge and eating it in small doses , I noticed this small white dots and I’m afraid it could be dangerous to eat … but I love this sausage too much to throw it away.. please tell me it’s safe 🥲
Also thank you for who will answer

Ahh there’s my toe. You enjoy it. And just write me into your inheritance so i have some money in 2026.
100% safe to eat. White mold is perfectly normal.
To err on the side of caution just wipe it with some vinegar until the mold goes away and it should be fine to eat
Yup.
White mold is fine. Blue is wash with vinegar, black mold means try again.
It’s a type of penicillin… probably P. Nalgiovense or a close cousin that would be safe to eat because it’s white and you shouldn’t be worried about white mold on cured meats 😉
PS: I add P. Nalgiovense to my charcuterie all the time and it’s literally covered in it… it adds a mushroomy taste to the meat which is a huge bonus to me.
Plan your next holidays in Auvergne in central France where you can still see some farm made dry sausages on local markets. Sometimes they have even dark black molds but the taste is marvelous!
