Weekends are meant for relaxing and having more time to enjoy new dishes. New products always tempt – at least to try once and if you like it, add it to your favorites list. And you simply can’t dislike them because food technologists professionally combine ingredients, discover new compounds, and surprise with unexpectedly born new flavors. In “Norfa” stores, new chipotle, chanterelle, or maple BBQ meat marinades tempt you to try a steak – truly, it’s a taste that makes you want to repeat it again and again.

The era of experiments is over
Let’s forget the times when, wanting to grill shashlik or steak, we first looked for quality and fresh meat, cut it at home, and marinated it for at least a day. And the marinade was traditionally made from a few ingredients at hand found in the kitchen: pepper, onions, garlic, oil, or mayonnaise. It should be admitted that sometimes it worked out, and sometimes not, and then it discouraged experiments in the kitchen for a long time.
From now on, everything will be different: no need to take risks, experiment, or worry about the taste of the steak. Ready-marinated meat dishes in the store are so high quality that they always cook deliciously. And the variety of marinades is surprising – new, untried, and very tempting.
So the weekend starts at the store: choose “Norfa” – you will never go wrong because marinated meat products are made only from quality fresh Lithuanian pork and chicken.
Tempted by Mexican peppers
Lithuanians are hard to surprise – we travel the world, taste dishes from distant countries’ cuisines, and recognize exotic spices by taste and smell. But have you heard of the “chipotle” flavor, what it is made from, and what it is used for?
“Norfa” chief butcher Dainius Bartošius explains that chipotle is a ripe, dried, and smoked jalapeño pepper originating from Mexico. The marinade prepared with chipotle is characterized by a light smoky, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of a campfire scent and a mild spiciness.
At home, it is unlikely to succeed in making chipotle marinade with tomato paste, garlic, onions, oil, sugar, and spices. If you want to experience the true chipotle flavor, choose marinated pork neck or loin steaks at “Norfa”.
Chipotle marinade is perfect for chicken. “Rivona” prepares marinated wings with “Cremy chipotle,” where you will taste not only the mild jalapeño heat but also the creamy richness.
Especially juicy and tender chicken shashlik from thigh meat in “Cream and chipotle” marinade.
From the forest straight to the table
The gifts of nature are the most valuable. And if it is the aroma and taste of forest-grown delicacies, the value rises even more – Lithuanians are simply crazy about mushrooms and mushroom picking. A few handfuls of chanterelles collected in the forest immediately lift the mood because thoughts already send signals to the taste receptors – a delicious dinner awaits.
The problem is that chanterelles do not grow everywhere and are not easily accessible to everyone. What to do for those who live far from the forest or do not have a car? The solution is simple – buy meat products with chanterelle-flavored marinade. Eating them, you will feel the forest aroma and the joy experienced by mushroom pickers.
At “Norfa,” pork neck with bone, pork ham with skin, and chicken steaks are prepared with chanterelle-flavored marinade.
According to “Norfa” chief butcher Dainius Bartošius, these meat products have a gourmet, mild flavor. The marinade is made from crushed dried chanterelles, onions, cream-flavored spices, pepper, garlic, and aromatic herbs.

For chicken lovers, products with chanterelle marinade are prepared by UAB “Rivona.” Chicken drumsticks are prepared in chanterelle and cream marinade. According to technologist Daiva Vaišvilienė, this is a favorite poultry part among buyers because the meat is juicy and tender – look for it in the “Norfa” weighed meat section.
Another chicken product – steaks with chanterelle marinade packed in convenient containers where you can cook them.
From baked goods to meat marinade: maple syrup
Food technologists like to experiment and sometimes turn everything upside down – sweet flavors are used not only for baked goods and desserts. Why not try seasoning meat with them? A real discovery for technologists was caramel, smoke, and tomato-flavored maple syrup as one of the main ingredients in meat marinade.
According to D. Vaišvilienė, maple syrup-style marinade is suitable for chicken and pork, giving steaks, shashlik, and ribs a new flavor.
A great choice is “Rivona’s” pork neck shashlik in “Maple BBQ” marinade. The technologist emphasizes that the shashlik is made from the best part of pork – the neck, which always cooks juicy and tender.
Chicken wings are also marinated with maple syrup, which roast beautifully, forming a crispy sweet crust when cooked.
Never boring: variety of assortment
In “Norfa” store displays, you will find a range of marinated meat products to suit all tastes – choose not only by marinade flavor but also by what you like to eat – from shashlik to sausages.
Do you like “Armenian” shashlik, whose marinade is enriched with Caucasian herbs? Try pork shashlik with aromatic herbs.
Or maybe you liked “Rustic” shashlik – with garlic, onions, and peppers? Balanced chicken shashlik “Family” with natural spices for the whole family.
When you want variety and a quicker grilled dish, cook sausages. Choose mild-flavored and tender “Family” grilled chicken sausages or slightly sweet chicken sausages in “Maple BBQ” marinade.
Marinated meat products sold at “Norfa” are made only from fresh and quality meat. Lithuanian pork is prepared at the “Rivona” butcher shop in the Šilalė district, fresh meat is delivered daily to stores, where it is cut and marinated according to trade needs and does not stay long in displays – buyers always find only fresh products.
