How long does salami last in the firdge?

Answer 1

It depends entirely on the Salami in question, and the method used to make the salami in question.

Salami were originally developed as a method to preserve meat for extended periods of storage.

It has been knows for unopened salami to remain safe for consumption without refrigeration for periods in excess of 10 years, if properly prepared in advance.

The "Idea" behind a salami is to "preserve" the meat in the same way that making wine preserves Grape Juice- By fermentation within a sealed container.

Many Salami have historically had wine as an ingredient, for precisely the reason given above: it was a known method of "preservation.

I (the person writing this) have personally had salami of good quality in my fridge (sliced or not) for periods in excess of 6 months, and in cases far more, without problem.

Generally speaking a Salami that will survive such extended storage will show signs of mould on the outer skin, such mould being http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penicillin an antibacterial mould that is safe to eat, and also will contribute to the flavour, while also adding to the preservation of the Salami.

A more direct reply:

If it starts to smell, chuck it, if is looks funny, chuck it. If it looks OK, and smells OK, eat it.
