Freshest Produce from Black Mountains Smokery

Fresh Produce

Our products are sourced with care, freshly prepared and vacuum-packed. This means they are suitable for home-freezing without loss of flavour or texture, with the exception of Smokey Jo’s Pâtés.

They should otherwise be kept refrigerated at or below 3°C and should always be consumed within 3 days of opening.

The shelf life of our food varies from 10 and 28 days depending on the particular product. It helps us greatly to receive orders with some notice so that we can plan our production to meet delivery needs. This means that we can pass on as much product life to our customers as possible.

Promotions

To receive news of special offers, seasonal buys and recipes, please register to sign up to our monthly e-newsletter. We promise not to bombard you with emails – and we will never pass on your details to any third party.  Don’t miss out on special offers and bulk buys on our smoked fish and meats.

Black Mountains Smokery Packaging of Smoked Meats and Food Gifts

Packaging

Our branded and recyclable gift packaging in the form of beautiful sleeves and cartons brings a sense of our surroundings and makes every one of our award-winning products worthy of being gifted, however big or small.  Our produce is otherwise packaged in smart but simple gold vacuum packs. Our packaging is kept to a minimum to reduce the cost to you and to minimise its environmental impact. The quality of our range of luxury foods is in the eating!

All orders are dispatched in food safe insulated outer packaging. Each parcel carries a label indicating that the contents are perishable and the date they should reach a refrigerator, which is a maximum of 48 hours depending on weather conditions.

The packaging of our larger hampers, (gourmet boxes, feasts, and larders) is either reusable or recyclable. Please feel free to reuse the liners and enjoy using them for your own picnics.

We are always striving to improve our packaging in terms of sustainability and eco-friendliness. Our current offerings reflect what options are available to us as a small company but you can expect to see improvements in the near future.

Black Mountains Smokery Food Produce Sustainability

Provenance & Sustainability

We take pride in knowing the exact provenance of everything we buy. We source our fresh foods with great care from quality UK suppliers only and process them at our own smokehouse.

We purchase only premium grade, sustainably farmed salmon from Shetland. The salmon are fed a diet of high quality fish meal and fish oils derived from wild caught small fish, such as capelin, which they would eat in the wild. They are reared in high currents enabling them to swim and shoal as they would in the wild producing lean, healthy salmon perfect for smoking. Top quality salmon farmed in harmony with the environment helps protect precious and scarce Wild Salmon by reducing demand on wild stocks.

We do not offer wild salmon or eel in our range as these are no longer sustainable unless line caught by individual fishermen.

Our sea fish – haddock, mackerel and kippers – are all North Sea sourced and considered sustainable catches under Marine Conservation (MCS) recommendations.

We use only UK Farm Assured (Red Tractor) chicken and duck. Gressingham Duck is a unique breed of duck, renowned by top chefs for its succulent meat and fantastic gamey flavour. Our cooked ham and dry-cured bacon are produced from Free Range pigs. Welsh Dragon Pork Sausage is made by our local butcher in Crickhowell. Welsh Cheddar is sourced locally from the Blaenafon Cheddar Company and our Welsh cheeseboard sourced from all over Wales.
