Dominican Andullo Curing

[Charly]

If your andullo/carotte is well compressed you can leave it alone, but if you feel there are some soft/empty spots it might mold.
The safest way would be to re-roll it tighter, and repeat until there are no soft spot.
Green leaves loose a lot of their volume while drying.

I unwrapped it. Left it over night. It got darker. I rewrapped it and it was smaller.

Going for wrap number three. The last stick got goopy and swelled like the first. I unwrapped it, let it sit out for a couple days to dry and oxidize.

Here's the andullo now. No mold. Still wet enough that you would expect it. Smell, pungent, uhhh, floral?, sour?
