Uses and Pairings: Pastrami in Olive Oil

A versatile product full of nuance, ideal for multiple preparations:

• In gourmet sandwiches with artisan bread, mustard and pickles
• As a main ingredient in warm or cold salads
• In homemade pizzas or creamy pasta dishes for a smoky touch
• Lightly heated on a griddle or pan to intensify its flavour
• Paired with spicy sauces and gherkins
• Perfect for special occasions alongside red wines

Production, Smoking and Preservation

The process begins with brining for up to 36 hours, removing impurities and preparing the meat to absorb aromas. The beef is then marinated with a blend of garlic, rosemary, thyme, cloves and salt, followed by a prolonged drying and smoking process that adds depth and character.

Once smoked, the pastrami is sliced into fine cuts and packed in olive oil. The tins are sterilised in an autoclave, cooking the meat and ensuring optimal preservation without losing juiciness or aroma.

History and Origin

Pastrami originates from the cuisines of Eastern Europe, particularly Romanian and Turkish traditions, and gained worldwide fame in the United States through Jewish immigrant communities. This olive oil version respects its traditional essence while adding a Mediterranean approach that enhances flavour and sophistication.
