Don- Your eyes are good, yes it is white mould. Should I just leave it?

Sorry did not see this post till today. Yes white mold is good and it helps with the drying and fights off the nasty mold , even green mold is OK if you wipe it down with vinegar to remove it. Black mold is no good and you should get rid of the meat if it has black mold.

Next time I will add aromatics after the cure time. I'm thinking freshly ground pepper and crushed fennel.

As all of the experimental meat is gone,  :o :time to start round 2. ;D ;D
