Abstract
Abstract Dry sausage (e.g., hard salami) is stuffed, smoked and cooked in the usual manner. Then, instead of being placed in the drying room for the usual prolonged drying, the product is sliced to usual thickness, e.g. one-sixteenth to one-eighth of an inch. The slices are supported so as to be substantially fully exposed to air and then drying air is blown over the slices so as to reduce the residual moisture content to from about 25 to 50 percent in not more than about 3 hours. The dried slices are then hermetically sealed in oxygen free packages.
