Curing salt in central Florida

[ahampleman]

Spent a good part of the day running around looking for but had no luck. If any of you from around the Orlando area know of a place, It would great if you turned me on to the source. Thanks

Sumosmoke and I both checked all over Fl and we couldn't find any and finally had to mail order some in. What kind are you looking for?

Okay now I don't feel so bad having turned up emtpy handed yesterday. Hot and humid Florida doesn't have any curing salt. Certainly not the place you can hang meat outside to dry.

You would think that some place in huge state would carry it...

You can try the Morton salt product locator.

Wasn't able to find any close enough to me, one place about 45 minutes away carried it but I just ordered some from the website. Arrived yesterday and I already have some capicola brining and trying out Mortons pepperoni and beef salami recipes.

One bag will last me for months of the no. 1, don't do much with #2 for dry sausage... yet!

If you have a meat processor or butcher near you, they might be willing to sell you some of what they use.

You may want to try Cavalari's Gourmet Market in Oviedo, or, Pettys Meat Market in Longwood. I called them and they mentioned not having it but they might be able to order??
