From now until the end of the year, food lovers will have the special chance to try a smoked salmon unlike any other, as the Double Smoked Danish salmon is finally here. (Devoted fans have been calling for weeks, waiting for the season to begin.)

Prepare to be wowed by its elegant smoke, velvety texture, and champagne color. This salmon feeds on herring, a protein-rich diet that contributes to its lean, healthy body and signature hue, and that also provides an added bonus: an extra dose of Omega-3s. Double Smoked Danish salmon is so rich and delicate that the Russ family likes it best accompanied by nothing other than a little bit of fresh black pepper.

In Departures, Reggie Nadleson wrote, “Only at Russ do you find double-smoked Danish organic salmon, a pale champagne color, deeply smoked, with an almost minky, velvet feel.”

Russ & Daughters is the exclusive importer of double-smoked organic salmon from a small multi-generational artisanal smokehouse on the Bornholm coast of Denmark.
