If you want to start cooking with smoked foods, choose the product based on its function in the dish. This selection of five items does not describe foods that can all be stored outside the fridge: each one requires the storage indicated on its packaging.
Five products, five uses
- 100g sliced pastrami: for a sandwich with mustard and pickles. Compare 500g or a whole piece if you need a larger quantity or a different cut.
- 120g smoked pork rinds: a pork belly preparation that the product page recommends pairing with lemon and pepper.
- 200g smoked butter: an ingredient for bread or cooking; check the mushroom and mashed potato recipes.
- 200g smoked cheddar: for a cheese board, sandwich, or grated over a dish, according to the product page.
- 80g smoked trout: for toasts, salads, or a platter.
What to buy first
For a sandwich, start with the pastrami; to incorporate a smoky ingredient into a dish you are already cooking, compare the butter; for an appetizer, choose cheese or fish depending on the preferences of those who will be eating. You don't need to buy all five items to try the catalog.
What to check before buying
- Quantity, presentation, and availability on each product page.
- Ingredients, allergens, and possible traces of the complete dish.
- Preparation, storage temperature, and shelf life after opening.
- Current price and frequency of use, without confusing a larger size with a better choice for everyone.
The selection does not attribute nutritional benefits due to the products being artisanal or smoked. To compare more formats, read the product selection guide; to prepare them in the kitchen, consult the Rooftop recipes.
