"The highly prized King salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is itself a rare luxury, making up less than one percent of the world’s salmon population. The high oil content naturally present in the Ōra King breed can be seen in the marbled fat lines within the bright orange flesh, delivering an elegant buttery texture and excellent plate appeal.

Ōra King is the culmination of a classical breeding programme that has spanned two decades and is designed to yield only the highest quality King salmon with the most appealing taste, texture and colour. Through classical breeding, responsible husbandry, selective grading and careful handling, the salmon are nurtured throughout their lifecycle, minimizing stress and fatigue, and are humanely harvested using a percussive stunning method based on the traditional Japanese Ike Jime technique. These efforts to reduce stress result in a minimal release of lactic acid, which, along with rapid chilling, helps ensure a desirable texture.

The fillets are seasoned with sea salt and soft brown sugar. They are then allowed to rest before being slowly smoked with New Zealand native manuka wood. Ōra King smoked salmon has no added nitrites or nitrates; the ingredients are simply King salmon, sea salt, brown sugar and manuka wood smoke." - Ora King Salmon
