Ok..I'll make this breif. I made a beautiful jack. It took about three 1/2 days to dry. I dry salted it a couple of time during drying because of excess moisture. Everything looks good except for a couple of tiny spots of white (not sure it from salting or geo mold). I moved to the aging room and decided to apply "salt/vinegar" brine and let dry off again before I oil it. My plan is to oil with a paste of oil and powdered red pepper. So my question is will it be ok to oil over possible geo mold spots? Any info will be helpful...Thx
Homestead- I would bet that since it is so early that it is probably salt. I don't think that after dry rubbing with salt twice that you would see it that soon. If it were a contaminant you would want to remove it before going to your next step whether it is a rub rind, vacuum bagged whatever.
