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.
In 1992, Scottish salmon became the first fish—and, at the same time, the first non-French product—to receive the prestigious Label Rouge, thanks solely to its natural conditions. Scottish salmon farmers have always been committed to the highest quality. Moreover, for over 30 years now, the Label Rouge has guaranteed compliance with strict quality standards.
Label Rouge salmon are fed exclusively on marine and plant-based products, with particular attention paid to ensuring an adequate intake of essential minerals, vitamins, and carotenoids. In addition to monitoring the diet and maintaining a low stocking density of no more than 15 kg of salmon per square meter, the program ensures animal- and environmentally-friendly farming practices. Fed and raised in a manner appropriate to their species, these Scottish salmon develop a low fat content of no more than 16%. An officially accredited certification body conducts regular inspections as well as quality and taste tests. And a rigorous identification system ensures complete traceability of the salmon from birth to the plate.
Unlike conventional salmon, Scottish Label Rouge salmon was also granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in 2004. This EU quality label identifies traditional regional products and guarantees their origin.
As the numerous seals of quality suggest, this Scottish fish delights with its clean, delicate salmon flavor. A guarantee of great taste that delights with every bite.
