Göttinger Stracke

Post by Albertaed » Thu May 06, 2021 14:06

Well I just pulled out this German salami. It is well made but I went against my gut and followed meatsandsausages recipe to the tee. It called for 2.8% salt and .3% cure. For me it’s on the salty side for sure. I will make it again but dial the salt down to 2.5% and .25% respectively.

Older recipies usually called for a higher salt content, and even today 3% in dried sausages is not unusual. Take a look at the ingredients in this Göttinger Stracke made in Germany, it has a total sodium content of 4%.

You can certainly go with less, but don't go under 2.5% for safety reasons.

Göttinger Stracke is an interesting German salami. Here is the info from the EU PGI Designation

Thanks for the info.

It’s always interesting when you go in blind to a new salami. Having never tasted before it ended up not quite what I expected , however, after a few more tastes my wife and I are enjoying it. I may experiment with a smidge less salt but I would be happy to leave it where it is also.
