Salicornia, also known as green salt or vegetable salt, is a plant that supports high levels of salinity, and is therefore classified as a halophyte. It is widely used in Europe in salads to replace the addition of salt, but it is also widely consumed cooked. It tastes similar to asparagus. Continue reading Salicórnia o sal vegetal
Loin capicola or lonzino is a product made from pork loin, with or without a layer of fat, generally fermented, dried and cured at controlled temperature and humidity. It is important to highlight that there are several ways to produce capicola and there is no single correct way, but it is very important to follow the basic principles that guarantee a final product without serious defects or high risks of contamination. Remember that it is raw meat that has been kept exposed to air for months, without harsh chemical treatment or extreme temperatures. Continue reading Copa lombo artesanal

These additives are used to reduce oxidation and consequently help maintain the color and avoid the rancid flavor resulting from oxidation. They also accelerate the healing process by interacting with sodium nitrite, which reacts with myoglobin in muscle tissue, generating the reddish color typical of cured products. Its usage is generally 0.01% of citric acid and 0.05% of sodium erythorbate for the weight of the meat. Continue reading Aditivos mais utilizados em embutidos
Do not wash chicken meat as this procedure can spread the bacteria. Campylobacter spreads easily and a small amount of it is enough to make a person sick. Contamination can come from consuming raw, undercooked chicken meat or through cross-contamination when handling raw food. Campylobacter causes more infections than e.coli, listeria and salmonella combined.
Here is a list of rules to protect your family when preparing food.
Cover and refrigerate raw chicken meat, keep at 5ºC or lower. Keep it at the bottom of the refrigerator, this way there is no risk of meat juices running out and contaminating other foods.
Cooking will kill any bacteria, including campylobacter, that are present in the meat. Washing will only spread bacteria around the place and utensils.
Wash all utensils well and scrub boards and surfaces used to handle raw chicken. Wash your hands with soap and water after handling raw chicken. This will help prevent campylobacter from continuing to contaminate other foods through cross-contamination.
Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before serving. Cut into the thickest parts to make sure the inside is perfectly cooked. There must be no pink liquid coming out of the middle of the meat. Ideally, there should be steam coming out of the interior as soon as it is cut.
Campylobacteriosis infection generally causes fever, muscle pain, abdominal pain and diarrhea lasting two to five days.
Occasionally deaths may occur in children, the elderly and individuals with compromised immunity or who lose a lot of fluid due to diarrhea.
Cross-contamination occurs when harmful bacteria, such as campylobacter, is spread on food, hands, packaging and equipment. It can occur when, for example, contaminated chicken meat is cut with a knife and later another food is cut with the same knife without having been sanitized. Avoid cross-contamination by cleaning utensils and keeping cooked foods separate from raw foods.

Copa or Coppa is an abbreviation of the Italian Capocollo, which in turn comes from the Latin “caput collum” and means neck, as pork neck meat is traditionally used to make this charcuterie delicacy.
