This liberty allows us to have an idealistic focus on sustainability and innovation without constant pressure from shareholders to deliver short-term profits.
In addition, the Faroe Islands’ year-round stable ocean temperatures, high waves, and strong currents create perfect conditions for raising salmon of exceptional quality.
Our unique stress-free harvesting and salmon processing methods are key factors that contribute to the quality and long shelf life of Hiddenfjord salmon.
