F-Bomb!

I just had to throw away an entire pound of sliced prosciutto because it was covered in mold.  I wouldn't have believed that mold could grow that fast on something that salty.  Or even that mold could grow on it at all!

ARGH!!!

Geez...when did ya buy it? Salt's supposed to make the growth of molds and other microbes slow down...then again if prosciutto is anything like ham is (honestly never had it), it can be really wet.

I expect that once it was sliced, that exposed the parts of the meat that the mold could more easily grow on.

Oh man I would LOSE MY MIND.

I never get that much at once, I only pick it up when there is something in particular I am making, I am terrified that something like that would happen to it. :(
