At ‘Ambachtelijke Rokerij Zuidvenne’ they know the importance of tradition.

The old art of smoking fish in a sustainable way is passionately performed here on a daily basis.

It already starts with the mineral rich sea salt from Guerande, which is harvested by hand from this Unesco protected marine reserve. After harvest the salt is transported by a sailing vessel to the Netherlands, therefore free of CO2 emission. After arrival in Zutphen the salt is first properly dried and smoked thoroughly with a mix of carefully selected wood species.

Smoking of the fish is also done in a sustainable way in wooden smokers with a 90% reduction of CO2 emission compared to other methods. Every batch is Slow Smoked!

The Salmon originates from the Faeroer islands, North of Scotland. Before smoking the sides are first salted with the mineral rich sea salt after which the Salmon is dried and aged before the cold smoking can start.

The same sustainable principles they apply for our Mackerel, which is caught with a vacuum pump. After arrival the Mackerel is hand-cleaned, brined and dried after which the fish is warm smoked in wooden smoke cabinets.

Due to this carefully followed process and mineral rich brine the goodness of the fish is better preserved which include the beneficial Omega 3 fats.

This is why Zuidvenne is our preferred supplier for 0ur mackerel and salmon.
