Q: I received this saucisson sec as a gift ... it smells awful and is coated with a white damp powdery stuff ... is this normal, and is there a way to tell if it has gone bad... it was stored in a refrigerator, and I saw on another site to never freeze it. thank you for any information you can pass along .... oh, and if it is ok ... am i suppose to wash the moldy stuff off... how is it eaten. thank you again,

A: It is normal for the Saucisson Sec to have the white mold on the casing. This is an edible mold (Penicillium) culture that imparts flavor, helps the drying process, prevents spoilage during curing and helps prevent photo-oxidation of the meat and rancidity in the fat. The mold is edible, but the casing can be removed (peeled) as well, depending on preferences. The Saucission needs to be kept refrigerated, wrapped in butcher paper ideally.
