Product Description
For an authentic white mold layer on your sausage or other charcuterie. Bactoferm Mold 600 – Penicillium nalgiovense is the mold most commonly used for sausages.
Why use a mold for your sausages and charcuterie?
A mold is a great addition for an authentic look, aroma, and taste. But, a mold also helps with the ripening process of sausages. First, it prevents rancidity (i.e. oxidation) of fat and increases the pH by producing ammonia. You want a sausage to be acidic in the beginning to prevent spoilage, but when the sausage is well-dried, that acidic environment is no longer necessary. A well-ripened and moldy salami, therefore, tastes remarkably mild. Furthermore, molds ensure a slower and more uniform drying, which means that you run much less risk of case hardening. Finally, unwanted molds do not stand a chance due to the force majeure of P. nalgiovense.

Instructions Bactoferm 600 white mold
- 1 bag of 25 grams is enough for about 2000 kg (!) of sausages.
- Optimal growth occurs at temperatures between 20–24°C and high humidity levels of 90–95% and moderate air velocity. These conditions typically result in a dense, white surface coverage within 3 days.
- Dilute the desired amount of mold starter 50-fold (for example 0.5 grams mold in 25 ml tap water; about 20 ° C). If your scale is not precise enough: a little too much mold is no problem at all.
- Dissolve and allow to rest for about 2 hours at room temperature.
- Then dilute again 10-fold. So the 25 ml becomes 250 ml.
- Spray or dip after stuffing the sausage or after the fermentation step.
- Only use natural casings.
- Once diluted it has a limited shelf life, use preferably on the day itself
