Traditions of the Monolith Meat and Pasta Factory: Ethno-food according to original recipe and production

"Ethno-food with tradition is one of the key values in the concept of the Monolith Meat and Dough Factory. By adhering to centuries-old culinary customs, truly unique products are created that convey exclusively positive emotions and gastronomic impressions to our customers."

"'Exactly the taste' – is the highest praise we want to hear from our customers. We meet the expectations of true connoisseurs of the authentic taste of traditional sausages and dumplings by, among other things, fulfilling the state standards developed back in the USSR era."

In our understanding, tradition lies not only in the recipe. The original taste of a product cannot be achieved without also considering its manufacturing process. This is Ethno-Food as it is written in the book: pure authenticity.

Sausage is culture

In pre-Petrine Russia, the meat assortment was rather modest and consisted primarily of dried meat. According to a quote from Karamsin, the highest achievement of culinary thought was
Back then ham. A culture of sausage making only emerged in Russia in the 17th century through German butchers. Who else but Peter the Great could have entrusted this matter to? After all, the Germans say: Meat is simply meat, but sausage is culture. And it was also the Germans who already in the 15th century passed the world's first sausage standard – the purity law for bratwurst. The purity law for beer came only 100 years later.

Soviet luxury

During Soviet times, the meat offerings became more diverse than ever before. In the USSR, German sausage traditions were revived in the form of, for example, Braunschweiger Mettwurst, and new products such as cooked sausages entered the market. The production secrets were copied by the People's Commissar of the Food Industry, Anastas Mikoyan, from the Americans in the 1930s. However, only a few chosen ones had access to this variety. Ordinary Soviet citizens mainly had to make do with Ljubitelskaja, Molotschnaja, and on holidays, Doktorskaja cooked sausage.
