Mt. Cook alpine salmon are raised in the swift, cold currents of New Zealand’s Southern Alps. The water is fresh and flows constantly. Just skilled staff and good farming practices to perfect the conditions for growing naturally healthy fish.
Alpine salmon are raised under environmentally sustainable farming practices across four farms. Highly skilled staff and good farming practices ensure their salmon are well looked after, and never stressed. The glacial water that flows through the farms creates a constantly refreshed environment and helps the fish stay healthy, naturally. There’s no need to use growth hormones, vaccines, pesticides, or antibiotics.
Not only do they care for the salmon 24/7 at the farms, but they also own their own hatcheries and processing plants. This vertically integrated business model means they actively manage each step, ensuring the final product is the finest-tasting salmon in the world. Their documentation provides full traceability of each fish from the customer back to its batch of hatchery eggs and parentage.
Climatic conditions, water temperatures, barometric pressure and even wind velocity can affect the appetite of the salmon fish. Farm staff adapt the feeding regime to the conditions. All this extra attention does take a little longer, but it’s time well spent.
