The Isla del Rey Smoked Salmon line is cold smoked which produces a mild flavor, delicious and available in a variety of presentations. Our HACCP certified plant personnel hand slice our product and carefully package them according to your instructions. Your customers will love the taste and texture of Isla del Rey's smoked salmon products!

Origin
Salmon is one of the few products that Isla del Rey does not harvest with its own hands. Great care is taken to assure that only the finest grade of salmon is accepted. Our quality control specialists receive only product that comes with a legalized laboratory certification that it is free of pharmacticos and contaminants. We also perform additional screening for color and quality and send samples to CESMEC certified laboratories to make sure the product is free of heavy metals and other prohibited substances. Since farmed Atlantic salmon are fed processed, heat-treated, palletized food, they are free of the anisakis roundworms to which wild salmon are subject. This product is available fresh all year long.

The Smoking Process
The smoking process takes approximately 24 hours and begins by washing the salmon and allowing them to dry in a temperature-controlled chamber. When the desired moisture content is attained, the fillets are placed in our Thirode Cold Smoking Chamber. This forced air oven produces a horizontal heated airflow, which gently smokes the tender salmon fillets using the distinctive flavor of the Chilean hardwood, Ulmo.
To assure even smoking, the fillets are rotated every two hours. After a total of four hours of smoking they are placed in the aging room for 10 to 12 hours. The savory product then is hand sliced and packaged according to the customers needs. Order some today and taste for yourself this one of kind delicacy!!!!!!
