Why Your Sausages Are Turning Sour and How to Prevent It
Sour sausages are often the result of bacterial breakdown of fat. To prevent this, start with the right choice of meat.
The most commonly used cuts are from the thigh or rump. Ensure the meat is fresh, with no strange odors, and has good elasticity. The surface should be free of any impurities. It is also best not to use too much fat.
The casing is just as important and must be of good quality, showing no signs of decay and free from any sour or rancid odors.
Improper Pre-Processing Can Lead to Sour Sausages
Before you begin making your sausages, thoroughly prepare your ingredients.
For the casing, instead of rubbing it with salt, use white wine to clean it.
It is also recommended to air-dry the fat for a day before using it.
If your Mai Que Lo wine has turned sour, it can affect the flavor of your sausages. To avoid this, purchase wine from reputable and traditional stores.
