Information
Curing Salt 500 g
Fine, clean, dried vacuum salt with sodium nitrite. Curing salt is commonly used in meat processing and is regulated. Nitrite helps inhibit botulism bacteria formation and supports the characteristic cured colour in meat. In Norway the curing salt is not coloured, so label the container clearly to avoid mixing it up with regular salt.
