Is your Sopressata smoking?
Not to long ago I came across some fellow makers that smoke their Sopressata once or twice to taste for about 8 hours each time during the normal drying process. This is happening in the northeast and I must say it was very tasty. I can’t think of any smoked Italian meats at all, can you? Does anyone else do this and what do you know about it? Please go to or Bulletin Board Guestbook and tell us what you think. I probably will smoke some of my normal batch next year.
