BMS Smoked Salmon vs Supermarket Brands
Curious about the results of our artisan smoked salmon taste test?
We set up a blind tasting, far from the Black Mountains, to discover which truly satisfies the palate — our award‑winning Black Mountains Smokery smoked salmon, or mass‑produced supermarket smoked salmon.
The Results: Quality Speaks for Itself
In this artisan smoked salmon taste test, Black Mountains Smokery came out on top, winning 4 out of 5 votes!
What made this result special? Most participants had never even tried smoked salmon before — and had never heard of us. Yet they praised the delicate smokiness, buttery texture and fresh, clean flavour of our artisan product.
Why Our Artisan Smoked Salmon Tastes Better
At Black Mountains Smokery, we combine sustainable sourcing, traditional curing and natural smoking to create truly special smoked salmon. Here’s what makes it different:
Sustainably sourced from Scottish waters – We work with Bakkafrost in Scotland, a farm renowned for exceptional fish welfare standards. No steroids, hormones or GMOs — just clean, responsibly farmed salmon.
Expert hand slicing – Every fillet is carefully hand‑sliced by our skilled team, ensuring perfect texture and consistency in every slice.
Pure salt brine cure(no added sugar) – Our salmon is naturally cured in a salt brine to enhance its flavour — without sugar, which some producers add to extend shelf life or mask inferior taste.
Gently smoked over Welsh oak – We use oak shavings from local carpenters — a sustainable by‑product that adds subtle, natural smokiness without artificial additives.
