How deeee
I am half way through my virgin journey of making coppa
I am following len poli's recipe
I did the half way re apply cure the other night
In about 9 days I am goingto have to stuff this into a casing
this is what it looks like right now:

As you can see its pretty flat and wide. The cure and salt is causing the meat to firm up
I assume I am goingto have to roll and tie this somehow so I can get it the casing
At least right now that appears to be a significant challenge or maybe if it sits out of the cure for a while it will soften up?
OR
Am I going to have to cut it in half and try to roll up 2 of them?
I am just getting ready to order some casings. I have a veil casing which I intended to use, a sheep casing that get wrapped aroound the meat as opposed to trying to get the meat in a casing. Should I go with the tube or stay with the veil
Thanks in advance for the help
