The Perfect Pairings – Smoked Salmon and Champagne

Perfect Pairings

Few things feel more luxurious, or more festive, than cold smoked salmon and champagne. At Black Mountains Smokery, we offer beautifully curated Smoked Salmon & Fizz and Luxury Smoked Salmon Side & Fizz gift selections, pairing our award-winning smoked salmon with a carefully chosen bottle of champagne from our drinks cellar. It’s the perfect pairing for celebrations, gifts, or indulgent entertaining.

 What Makes Our Smoked Salmon So Special?

We start with the finest salmon fillets and cure each one in pure salt, never rushing the process. Then we gently smoke the fish over Welsh oak chips, a natural by-product from local carpenters. This traditional cold-smoking method gives the salmon its signature texture, silky, tender, and richly flavoured without overpowering smokiness.

Once smoked, we hand-slice each side for the perfect cut, preserving its texture and presentation. Our smoked salmon has received multiple Great Taste Awards (GTA), recognised for its exceptional quality, balance, and craftsmanship.

Elegant Pairings for Cold Smoked Salmon

When you’re serving smoked salmon, you don’t need vegetables  just the right accompaniments to enhance its flavour and texture. Here are some standout pairings available directly from our shop:

• Dill Mustard Sauce – A Scandi-style classic with a sweet, sharp finish.

• Beetroot & Thyme Dressing – Earthy, tangy, and vibrant. A favourite for festive platters.
