So I decided to cut open all but the genoa 3 and sopressata 2
The top piece is the genoa. The sliced pieces left to right: sopressata, pepperoni, genoa.

Verdict:
1)Genoa salami- came out great, texture was like what you would buy in the store, flavor was intense. A++
2) Pepperoni - the first was was good, the second was a little dryer. But both were keepers. A
3) Soppressata salami- I have never had it before so I don't know what to compare it to. It was good. Not as intense flavor as the genoa, but I like it. A- (only because I don't know what is supposed to taste like)
4) Capicola - I wasn't too impressed. The outer skin was dried and bit tough. The inside probably needed another week. But then the edge dryness would be have been wider. Now part of the problem may be that the UMAi recipe says to use the coppa muscle. I couldn't get one so I just used a small rolled de-boned butt. C
Would I do it again.? Yes. But not the capicola unless I got a coppa muscle.
