Chill it, slice it, wrap in meal size portions.
Wrap tightly in your favourite clingwrap, then freeze.
Keep a week's worth unfrozen.

Good to infinity and beyond - well, at least well past Xmas anyway. If it lasts that long and you don't overdose on it.

The curing process preserves it.

Go easy on feeding it to pets, salt and all that.
