To choose a smoked product, start with the dish: do you want an ingredient for cooking, preparing a sandwich, or assembling an appetizer? Then compare the presentation and the quantity. This guide gathers options from the Rooftop catalog and links to their product pages to check ingredients, price, and current availability.
An ingredient for bread, vegetables, or pasta
The 200g smoked butter allows you to add a smoky touch to bread or incorporate it into vegetables, pasta, and meat. If you use it frequently or in a professional kitchen, compare it with the 1kg format. The size does not imply that you must use a larger quantity in each dish.
The product page lists pasteurized cream and salt. Check for possible traces and storage instructions; it is not a dairy-free alternative.
Pastrami for sandwiches or for sharing
For pastrami, the main decision is quantity and cut:
- 100g sliced: the smallest quantity format in this comparison.
- 500g sliced: a larger quantity in a pre-cut presentation.
- Approximately 2 kg piece: to be sliced upon serving; the weight is approximate.
Bread, mustard, pickles, or sauerkraut are possible accompaniments. Choose the format according to what you are going to prepare and the storage instructions, without assuming a fixed number of guests.
An appetizer with anchovies in butter
The anchovies in smoked butter are a different option from the butter alone. Consult the composition and the format on its product page to prepare the appetizer and check for allergens in the complete dish.
Accompaniments: not all are smoked
Sauerkraut, kimchi, and pickles can complete the dish, but belonging to the same catalog does not mean they share the same production process. Compare the flavor, ingredients, and presentation in the fermented and pickled collection.
What to check before buying
- Presentation: sliced, whole piece, or jar; net weight and drained weight where applicable.
- Ingredients, allergens, and possible traces for each product.
- Storage and consumption after opening, according to the product page and packaging.
- Current price and availability on the product page, making sure not to confuse an empty gift box with a food pack.
