Pastrami in Olive Oil
What do we find in this can of Pastrami in Olive Oil?
Our Pastrami in Olive Oil offers its own version of the legendary New York pastrami, enriched with olive oil. Its preparation begins with carefully selected cuts of beef flank, which are subjected to a brining process of up to 36 hours to cure the meat, thus eliminating blood and liquids. It is then marinated with a selection of spices including garlic, rosemary, thyme, cloves and salt, adding deep aromas and flavors.
The process continues with meticulous drying and smoking that lasts for several days, culminating in the cutting of the pastrami into thin slices. These are preserved in olive oil in cans, which are then sterilized in an autoclave. This method of preservation not only cooks the meat at high temperatures, but also ensures its preservation thanks to the properties of the olive oil.
