Cumhuriyet pastirma - Pastrami

Cumhuriyet Pastırma – Turkish Air-Dried Beef with a Thousand-Year History

Pastırma is one of the world's oldest charcuterie products – an air-dried and heavily spiced beef whose origins can be traced back to the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. The Turkish word "pastırma" is actually the origin of the English "pastrami" – a historical connection that testifies to the product's enormous cultural impact.

What makes pastırma unique is its characteristic surface treatment with çemen – an intense spice blend of fenugreek, garlic, red pepper and cumin that is pressed into the meat surface during drying. The result is a beef with a deep, complex and bold flavour profile that is immediately recognisable and impossible to confuse with anything else.

Cumhuriyet delivers pastırma to the highest Turkish standard – with 30g protein per 100g and just 8g fat, it is also one of the most protein-rich charcuterie products you can find.

Traditionally served with:

• Turkish breakfast (kahvaltı): Thin slices of pastırma on the breakfast table alongside cheese, eggs and olives – a must for the complete Turkish breakfast
• Pastırmalı yumurta: Fry thin pastırma slices in a pan, crack eggs on top – a Turkish classic with intense flavour
• Pide and pizza: Pastırma with egg is one of the most popular pide combinations in Turkey
• Mezze and starter: Serve thin slices on a platter with olive oil and lemon
• Sandwiches: Thin slices of pastırma with cheese in toasted bread – intense and memorable
