Default Mondostart vs Bactoferm t spx??

Making dry cure salami tomorrow. My bactoferm is past the best before date and since I dont want to take a chance with no fermentation I bought some mondostart classic. My question is, do I add the same amount as Bactoferm? Thanks. BEL

No

Follow your Mondostart Classic dosing instructions to be sure but generally your Bacto is stronger and would dose at 2.5 g per 10kg meat And your Mondo would dose at 2.5g per 5kg meat

Generally I avoid these types of cultures and salvage bacteria from the skin of true Italian Salami's. Cheap bugger I am

Default Thanks

There were no dosing instructions with the pact. Could not find anything on the net either. Thanks again. BEL

You should be close by using 50% of what you used for your old Bacto batches.

but your Mondo is a little tame compared to Bacto and is sometimes supplemented by some Fermento.

But I would try it unaltered to establish a baseline

Thanks very much for your input. When I spoke with DNR upon ordering they mentioned the Fermento. And as you said, not necessary to use it with Mondo. BEL
