Southern Italian Calabrian Soppressata Garbage Can Sausage ;) January & February in the Northwest has a very similar temperature & humidity as cellars in Southern Italy! So I took a garbage can, cut some vent holes and hung my Soppressata inside to cure. I kept it outdoors one January & February and it actually worked great. **Notes Curing Meat - Ideal Temp 52 degrees / 11 celsius Humidity - 65 - 75% **If the outside humidity is less than the inside of the Soppressata you will have drying taking place. You want them to cure, not dry out. If the outside of the Soppressata becomes too dry it will prevent moisture from escaping from the center.
