Hi,
Looking for some insights on the progression of my pancetta. It's been drying for almost a month and it went from 1590g to 1339g (around 16% weight loss now)
The weight loss has slowed down dramatically, in the past week it lost about 4-5g/day. I can tell it's a fatty piece so I know I probably won't hit 30% weight loss but I want to ensure it will be shelf stable and won't spoil in the fridge.
Would it be safe to pull this at 20% weight loss? I've attached pictures of the pork belly raw and how it looks now.
Thanks!
