Egyptian basturma with a homemade small-batch feel.
Egyptian basturma is cured beef coated with a bold spice paste, traditionally built around garlic, fenugreek, paprika, and warm spices. The result is rich, savory, aromatic, and perfect for eggs, sandwiches, breakfast plates, or thin-sliced snacking.
This is not mass-produced deli meat. Each batch starts as raw beef, cures and dries, then becomes available only after the finished weight is known.
Batch timing matters
Availability depends on curing, drying, shrinkage, and final yield.

Pick up
Pickup is local only. No shipping is offered at this stage.
Small batches
Raw weight goes in. Finished basturma comes out smaller, richer, and ready when it is ready.
Because curing and drying cause natural shrinkage, every batch has a real finished yield. That is why inventory opens only after the batch is ready.
