This option is ideal for stuffing larger-format salami pastes where you want the look and feel of a traditional beef bung, but with a more manageable diameter and a quicker drying time compared to larger bungs. It can also be used for cooked products, but we generally recommend this size for salami-style applications rather than whole-muscle curing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5+ inch diameter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur larger beef bung cap size. This option is better suited for cooked products, smaller coppa-sized muscles, and larger-format salami. Because of the larger diameter, salami stuffed into this size will take longer to dry, but it produces a beautiful, substantial finished product.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor whole-muscle projects, size matters.
