You should keep them hanging in a cellar or in a part of the house that remains fresh, leaving the final part cut wrapped in a small gauze, without resting on any surface, to avoid the formation of mold or stains of humidity. Every time you slice them, take care to remove the first slice, easily oxidized, and then cover the surface with a new gauze or with a cotton napkin, tied with a thread of food string. Hang them upside down and repeat this procedure until you have finished the salami.
