Visited in February of 2019 the week before Carnival. Great time to visit as there were hardly any tourists and only a few other travelers. Downside is a lot of the restaurants aren't open and some tours are shut down. Upside is you get to live like a local in a insanely touristy town 10 months of the year. We were able to grab a very nice 1 bedroom apartment in the old town center with a kitchen for 150 euros for 5 nights (30 euros/n). Probably 10-15 restaurants were open in the old town, including the main grocery store. It appeared most everything was getting ready to open for Carnival, which probably marks the end of the lowest season (Few days after New Year's to Carnival). We did all the touristy stuff, and saw no other International travelers but a few random couples and one Chinese tour bus that overnighted (Right as COVID was taking hold...) We walked the walls and saw less than 20 people in 2 hours. If you want to avoid the crowds you can't beat Dubrovnik in the winter.
Can you eat mold on salami?
-
Yes. Mold is actually beneficial to the aging of dry salami. All of our dry salami are enclosed in natural hog casings that are inoculated with a harmless mold to help in the aging process. Our dry salami can have both white mold (penicillin nalviogense) and blue/green mold (penicillin glaucum).
-
The white coating around certain hard salamis is actually a dusting of a benign mold which helps cure the salami and preserve it from bacteria. It is also normal for dry-cured hams to develop some surface molds. As long as you scrub the mold off your cured ham, it is safe to eat.
Furthermore, what is the white mold on salami? Penicillium species are molds that colonize the surfaces of cheeses, salami, and other naturally aged fermented foods. The fungus that most commonly colonizes salami is Penicillium nalgiovense, a mold that makes the white fluffiness we associated with salami.
Beside this, can you eat the plastic around salami?
No. The skin of the salami is edible. Oh, and if there is mould - dont wash it off.
What does moldy salami look like?
Salami Color For example, if you notice any black fuzz or mold, discard the salami. If its edges turn a brown or gray color, toss it. Dont panic if you spot a white mold on the salami. Some companies actually use this white mold, or Penicillium nalviogense, on the salami casing to help with the aging process.
