Scottish Smoked Salmon

• Sourced from specially chosen farms to ensure traceability and quality
• All feed is GM free
• Cured with a mixture of sea salt and demerara sugar prior to smoking
• The soft pellicle is retained for a more characteristic smokey flavour

The Smoking Process

The salmon fillets were smoked over smouldering oak and beech wood chippings within a temperature and humidity controlled kiln for between seven and nine hours, producing a distinctive flavour and quality finish.
