The Aoraki Salmon story starts in the pristine glacial waters that cascade down from the majestic Aoraki/Mt Cook, New Zealand’s highest mountain. These fast flowing, cold, crystal-clear waters create a unique environment for our farms that produce salmon with a clean and subtle taste, unlike any other salmon in the world.

At the heart of Aoraki Salmon’s ethos is a deep respect for nature and a commitment to sustainable farming practices. The salmon thrive in the fast, glacial flows, which are as pure as the snow-capped peaks themselves. This harmonious relationship with the environment ensures that every salmon is raised in a way that is both natural and ethical.
The result of this meticulous care is a salmon that is not only of the highest quality but also carries the essence of its origin. But it’s in our smokehouse in Christchurch that the magic truly happens.
Here, where age-old traditions meet modern techniques, we take our time, allowing the subtle taste of our salmon to shine. Our skilled artisans employ time-tested methods to gently smoke the salmon using woods like Oak, Applewood and Pōhutukawa.
We also give our innovative products a kiwi twist by incorporating native ingredients like Horopito, Kāmihi and Mānuka Honey. Crafted with precision, our salmon emerge as culinary masterpieces — a taste that’s truly connected to our place – Aoraki.
