🍖 Versatile use For all meat processing |
The salt contains an exact and pre mixed amount of sodium nitrite (0.6%), which effectively inhibits unwanted bacteria during curing, drying, and smoking. This is our most important defense against botulism in meat products. At the same time, it ensures that the meat retains its tempting, red pink color (without nitrite, smoked meat and bacon will turn grey). It also contributes to the unique and characteristic flavor we all associate with professionally processed meat.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Is it difficult to use in my own recipes?
No, it is incredibly easy. In the vast majority of recipes, you simply replace the regular salt with curing salt in the exact same amount. Since it is already pre mixed in the correct and legal concentration from the factory, you do not need to measure the nitrite yourself.
Why does smoked meat turn grey if I use regular salt?
When meat is heat treated or dried with regular salt, the myoglobin protein breaks down and loses its red color (think of a grey, boiled pork chop). Curing salt binds the color chemically before this happens, ensuring the meat remains pink, delicate, and tempting.
