Sustainability
Our king salmon live in cold, mountain-fed lakes, where they are farmed sustainably in a low-density environment. The ultra-clean waters of the New Zealand Southern Alps, low stocking densities and remote location keep the fish naturally healthy without the need for antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs, so it’s safe for the whole family.
We source from Mount Cook Alpine, which has been rated by Seafood Watch as the most sustainably farmed salmon in the world.
Nutrition
Freshwater king salmon has the highest oil content of all salmon breeds, resulting in a greater concentration of healthy omega-3s. In addition to being a rich source of healthy fats, king salmon also contains a good amount of protein, while still being low in carbohydrates, making it an ideal component of a keto diet.
Cooking Tips
Crafted from the roe of king salmon, these plump silken pearls burst with a rich, smooth salmon centre. Aoraki salmon caviar is a great way to add umami and colour to your seafood dishes.
Ikura caviar: Prepared using the classic Japanese method of curing, nutty undertones of soy with rich umami notes meld beautifully into the character of the caviar oils, with a hint of sweetness and sake in the finish. Try it in chirashi (sushi rice topped with pieces of raw fish and salmon roe); otherwise there's the classic option with blinis.
Smoky caviar: A rich smoky beginning combines with the caviar's signature subtle oils and results in a delicious mouth feel, followed by a clean egg pop and lingering subtle smoke. This caviar will bring your dishes to a whole new level.
