My order was easy to purchase. It showed up via USPS on time. Everything was packaged in user friendly packaging. So far my salts and various mold and bacteria types have been easy to apply. Now the waiting game for my salumi projects.

Excellent product. I had initially use a one ounce purchase as I wasnât sure if it would do what I wanted. But having cured Irish Style hams and Back Bacon, I purchased the 5lb jar. It arrived promptly and was immediately put to use. The packaging is very robust and the instructions on the packet are easy to read and follow. I will be purchasing more products as I expand my home curing capabilities. Pricing is excellent.

Very satisfied with the #1 Insta cure.
I had received #2 cure first. I emailed customer service and told them what happened and in 2 days I received #1. Outstanding customer service.

I brine and smoke a good bit of meat in the form of pork bellies for bacon, beef briskets for corned beef and pastrami and cold smoke fish like salmon. This product is not available in the local markets so ordering it on-line is the way for me to go and I’m glad your company offers it.
