Sometimes mold can appear on the drying coppa where the bag is not in contact with the meat, it is not a huge problem and is natural. When coppa is done drying one can just wipe it off with some wine vinegar soaked towel.

Jim, I have a similar problem with mold spots. I made 23 Coppa that we’re cured, seasoned, placed in UMAi Bags and hung in my refrigerator on February 9/2018. I moved them into a temperature controlled refrigerator that I am attempting to make a Curing Chamber On February 15/2018. Since then I have tried to keep the temperature about 50 degrees (75% RH). Today I noticed some mold on some of the Coppa. I’m really concerned so I dropped the temperature to 34 degrees. I would like to send you some pictures so you can see what I’m dealing with. As expected, I really don’t want to loose any, please advise ASAP. thanks.

Mold growth accelerates at higher temps like 50F, that is the basic issue. If you have a curing chamber there likely is no need to use UMAi Dry®. The UMAi Dry® process was designed for use with regular home refrigerators. At this point if the mold is white you can probably let it go and hopefully the surface will dry to stop the growth.

Jim, after a closer look is seems like there is a slight green color in some of the spots. I understand that I could just use the UMAi Bags and hang in the refrigerator until The desired weight is reached. I thought a Curing Chamber would be a good thing in conjunction with the UMAi Bags. I loved the results that were achieved last year and I would like to get this figured out and hopefully corrected. If some spots are green, what then. I can send some pictures.
