EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

What is the smoking?
After being filleted, fresh salmon is salted.  Then it undergoes a drying and a smoking process. The smoking process can be of two types: hot and cold. The first  provides for the salmon fillets to be subjected to a temperature of about 60°C for almost three hours. Cold smoking requires a variable temperature between 20 and 25°C for about 12 hours. In the second case, the salmon remains raw. Most of the salmon marketed in Italy is cold-smoked.

The parameters to be evaluated
Not always relying on the colour of the salmon is the best chance to ensure the quality of the product. It would be better to check that the colour is uniform, with no obvious spots or variations. Attention is also to be given to the thickness of the slice: too thin slices tend to flake off, the excessively thick ones can make the taste too intense. It’s always recommended a slice of medium thickness.

Warning
Always check the integrity of the packaging and of the product that must be stored at a temperature between 0 and 4°C. The  statutory label always indicates the batch number and the expiring date. Always check the degrees of the refrigerator in which it will be stored.
