1. The chopping is done, where the lean meat and fat are crushed separately in the grinder. This resulting ground pork is approximately 70% meat and 30% fat.
2. Then dissolve the dry base of the carmine with a little water. The most used liquid carmine is the Standard (3%), but may vary according to the preferences of the producer.
3. The ground meat is mixed with the liquid carmine and a maceration time is given to complement the salts, nitrates, among others.
