[pct-l] Bread/Tortillas/Cheese

[dicentra]

I think the key is that he CUT the salami before packing it. There are lots of 
choices for shelf stable salami, pepperoni (slices and sticks) and even 
prosiutto... only good IF you don't open the package until ready to eat it. Same 
goes for a lot of cheeses.

I don't really know about your salami. Nor have I eaten food I repacked 
several months previous.

However I have bought beef jerky when I didn't have time or urge to make my 
own. It seemed too moist out of the package plus the package said 
refrigerate after opening. So instead I finished drying it myself and never 
had a concern.

Part of the problem with you salami may be that the salami had too high a 
moisture content. Maybe someone here has some more info.
