Named after Bulgaria’s storied Black Sea port city, Burgas salami carries the soul of a centuries-old coastal tradition — a robust, beechwood-smoked blend of pork and beef that has earned its place as the most beloved boiled-smoked sausage in Bulgarian homes.
Tandem’s Burgas Black Sea Brand Salami is crafted in the USA following the authentic old Bulgarian recipe that made Burgas-style salami a household staple across Bulgaria and the diaspora. A balanced blend of pork and beef is seasoned with a spice bouquet that includes delicate garlic, then slow-smoked over real beechwood — the wood that defines the smoky character of this regional classic. The result is a firm-textured salami with a clean, defined aroma of smoked meat and a flavor profile that is savory, garlicky, and satisfying without being heavy.
The pork-and-beef blend sets Burgas apart from single-meat salamis — the beef adds depth and a slightly firmer bite, while the pork keeps the texture rich and approachable. At 1 lb per piece, it is substantial enough for a gathering yet practical for everyday slicing.
How to Enjoy It
Slice medium-thick and serve at room temperature to let the beechwood smoke and garlic notes fully open up. Layer onto dark bread with whole-grain mustard and pickled cucumbers for the classic Bulgarian sandwich. Fan across a meze board alongside kashkaval cheese, olives, and roasted peppers — or pan-fry thick slices until lightly crisped at the edges for a hearty breakfast alongside fried eggs.
What Makes It Special
Made in the USA in the authentic Bulgarian tradition, this salami uses a true pork-and-beef blend — not a single-meat shortcut — and real beechwood smoking rather than liquid smoke flavoring. The Burgas recipe is one of the most replicated in Eastern European charcuterie precisely because it balances accessibility with character: mild enough for everyday eating, distinctive enough to stand out on any board.

Bulgarian Serving Tip
Along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, Burgas-style salami is the anchor of every summer meze table — sliced thick, set out with vine tomatoes, sirene cheese, and a cold Zagorka beer as the sea breeze comes in. Recreate that tradition at home: arrange slices on a wooden board with Bulgarian Kashkaval, stuffed peppers, and a glass of chilled Misket white wine. For a warming winter version, dice and simmer briefly in a bean stew (bob chorba) to add a deep, smoky richness.
Pairs perfectly with: Bulgarian Kashkaval (SKU: CKY05sheep or CKY 450cow), Beef Sujuk Dry Cured Salami (SKU: TM33), Servilat Salami Tandem (SKU: TM43), and Deroni Lutenitsa spread.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Burgas-style salami?
Burgas is a classic Bulgarian boiled-smoked salami style named after the city of Burgas on the Black Sea coast. It is made from a blend of pork and beef, seasoned with garlic and a traditional spice mix, then smoked over beechwood. It is one of the most iconic and widely consumed salami styles in Bulgaria.
Is this product imported from Bulgaria?
No — Tandem’s Burgas Salami is made in the United States following the authentic old Bulgarian recipe. The flavor, smoking method, and spice profile are true to the original, but the product is manufactured domestically by the Tandem brand.
What makes Burgas different from the other Tandem salamis?
Burgas (TM44) is the only salami in the Tandem range that uses a pork-and-beef blend, which gives it a firmer bite and a richer, deeper flavor than pork-only options. The beechwood smoking adds a distinctive regional character. By comparison, the Smoked Salami (TM42) is a softer cooked-smoked pork product, and the Servilat (TM43) is a lightly dried pork salami with a spice-forward profile but no beechwood smoke.
Is it fully cooked and ready to eat?
Yes. Burgas salami is a boiled-smoked product — fully cooked during production. It is ready to eat straight from the package. It can also be sliced and pan-fried or added to cooked dishes for extra smoky depth.
How should I store it and how long does it keep?
Keep refrigerated at all times. Once opened, wrap tightly and consume within 5—7 days. Check the label for the use-by date on unopened product.
Can I get a discount when ordering multiple pieces?
Yes — buying 3 or more pieces brings the price down , a 5% saving. The discount is applied automatically when you add three or more to your cart.
