Freshness starts when we make your order.

We work from whole fresh salmon and only start processing when there is an order to make. That gives us control over the time between whole fish, finished product and delivery.

The fresh chain

About five days from
harvest to plate.

Freshness is a matter of time. So here is ours.

Harvested in
ocean farms.

Our salmon is raised and harvested in ocean farms.

2–3 days
Arrival in Riemst.

Within approximately two to three days after harvest, the exact duration of salmons rigor mortis, the whole fresh salmon arrives at The Salmon Atelier in Riemst.
This is where your order takes shape.

Within 8 hours
Ready to leave.

Once processing starts, your order is cut, portioned, trimmed and prepared to specification.
Within eight hours, it is ready to leave the atelier.

± 5 days from harvest to consumption.

The result is a short chain: approximately five days between harvest and consumption.
No finished product waiting for an order. We make it when it is needed.

Sustainability

Less waste.
More control over what we use.

Sustainability is part of how we run the atelier. We look at the materials, water and energy our production uses, and at what we can recover, treat or reduce ourselves.

Packaging materials.

We grind our incoming EPS packaging ourselves and compress it into bales, so the material can be collected and reused for other purposes.

Water treatment.

Our own water treatment installation allows us to treat process water on site.

Solar energy.

Solar panels provide part of the energy used at The Salmon Atelier.

Cleaning with activated water.

Our system uses electrochemically activated water to clean and disinfect process water, equipment and surfaces. This allows us to reduce the use of conventional cleaning chemicals while maintaining the hygiene standards required in our production.
