Kaminwurzen Tips – Quality Standards
A key quality factor in Kaminwurzen production is the quality of the meat used. The more pure muscle meat and the fewer connective tissue-rich meat pieces that go into the sausage, the higher the quality.
The longer a Kaminwurzen can dry or mature, the more intense its flavor and aroma become. The drying and maturation time can usually be gauged by the firmness of the sausage: the firmer it is, the longer it has undergone the maturation process.
Another important indicator is the specification of how much meat was used per 100g of finished sausage. The more meat used, the more intense the sausage flavor.
- For storage, a cool, dry room with a temperature of up to 22°C is sufficient.
- Ideally, the Kaminwurzen should be stored hanging. It has a shelf life of at least 2 months or longer.
- During open storage, the sausage loses water, making it progressively harder. This also enhances the spiciness of the flavor.
- If Kaminwurzen are stored openly, white spots or patches may form on the sausage casing. This is salt crystallization and not mold. It is perfectly safe to eat, or you can simply remove it with a brush and water.
