Germes Briushina Kopchenaya — Smoked Pork Belly
Lithuanian-style salt-cured pork belly, smoked over hardwood
LITHUANIA · GERMES · 300 g
What it is
Briushina (брюшина) is the belly cut from the pig — streaky, with alternating ribbons of meat and fat. Germes salt-cures the slab the traditional way, then smokes it over hardwood until the skin turns deep amber and the smoke runs all the way through.
Germes is a long-standing Lithuanian meat producer (also seen on UK shelves under the “3 Little Pigs” label) with a reputation for clean recipes and proper slow-smoking. This belly slab is meant to be eaten cold — sliced thin against the grain on dark rye, with mustard, with raw onion and vodka, or chopped into a hot borshch for smoky depth.
Ingredients
Pork belly (with skin), salt, natural wood smoke.
Germes recipes are typically minimal. Always check the pack for the exact ingredient list of the batch you receive — some variants include garlic or pepper in the rub.
