FJORD / Know How Fjord

Italian
artisanal excellence

From the sea to your table.
Traceable quality, responsible selection.

THE FJORD METHOD
From hand-salting with pure rock salt to natural low-temperature smoking over fine beechwood, every step of our process is designed to elevate the flavor, aroma, and texture of our specialties to their highest expression.

A journey dedicated to excellence

Each phase reflects the care and expertise of our craftsmen: a controlled supply chain, meticulous processing, and an uncompromising respect for the raw material.
NEVER FROZEN
Handcrafted Processing

We select only fresh salmon, prized for its rich flavor and firm, compact texture.

To preserve its natural qualities, the fish arrives weekly, kept under ice between 0° and +4°C, and is filleted immediately upon arrival.

NEVER FROZEN
Salting

The fillets are hand-salted using a dry method—never brines or injections.

This slow, natural process allows the salt to gently penetrate the fibers through osmosis, initiating a delicate drying phase that reduces moisture and naturally extends the product’s shelf life.

NEVER FROZEN
Smoking

Once rinsed, the fillets are slowly smoked at low temperatures over selected beechwood.

During this stage, they develop their distinctive smoky aroma and complete their drying, achieving the ideal texture that defines our specialties.
