Scotland
Quality always makes the difference.
When it comes to salmon, in particular, it’s worth paying attention to its quality. Label Rouge salmon stands out from the crowd. It captivates with its delicate orange, marbled flesh, refined flavor, firm texture, and melt-in-your-mouth quality. Furthermore, Scottish Label Rouge salmon is free of contaminants and rich in valuable nutrients, particularly essential omega-3 fatty acids.
Where the strong winds of the Scottish Highlands sweep across the Atlantic and the cold, clear seawater is still rich in valuable natural nutrients, Label Rouge salmon swim their courses. In doing so, they exert themselves to the utmost due to the strong currents. All of these factors result in exceptional quality.
Scottish salmon was the first fish and at the same time the first non-French product to be awarded the prestigious Label Rouge in 1992 due to its natural characteristics alone. Scottish salmon farmers have always been concerned with the highest quality. The Rouge label has also guaranteed compliance with strict quality standards for over 30 years.
Label Rouge salmon is fed exclusively with marine and vegetable products, with particular attention paid to the supply of important minerals, vitamins and carotenoids. In addition to feeding and a low stocking density of a maximum of 15 kg of salmon per square meter, animal and environmentally friendly farming is also monitored. When fed and kept in a species-appropriate manner, Scottish salmon develop a low fat content of no more than 16%. An officially approved certification body carries out regular checks and quality and taste tests. And a stringent identification system enables the salmon to be fully traced from birth to the plate.
In contrast to conventional salmon, the Scottish label Rouge salmon was also awarded the status of a protected geographical indication (PGI) in 2004. The EU seal of quality identifies traditional regional products and guarantees their origin.
As the numerous seals of approval suggest, the Scottish fish delights with a clean, fine salmon flavor. A flavor guarantee that delights bite after bite.
