Experience the unparalleled taste of Balik Salmon, a delicacy steeped in history and renowned for its exquisite quality. Originating from the Russian Tsarist-era recipe, Balik Salmon embodies the pinnacle of smoked salmon craftsmanship. We begin with the finest salmon, sourced from pristine waters, and cure it with just a touch of salt and sugar, preserving its natural essence. The salmon is then cold-smoked over aromatic beechwood, which imparts a subtle smoky flavor that perfectly complements the fish's inherent richness.

The Result? A smoked salmon experience unlike any other. Balik Salmon boasts a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture and a delicate flavor profile that balances subtle smokiness with the natural sweetness of the fish.

Cooking Methods: No Cooking Required

Balik Salmon arrives ready to savor. Simply slice and serve as a luxurious appetizer, paired with traditional accompaniments like blinis, crème fraîche, and Salmon Roe (ikra икра). Or, incorporate it into salads, sandwiches, or enjoy it simply on its own.

Fun Facts: A Tsarist Tradition Revived

The story of Balik Salmon is as fascinating as its flavor. After the fall of the Russian Tsars, their preferred method of smoking salmon was lost for decades. In the 1970s, this ancient tradition was rediscovered and revived, focusing on meticulous craftsmanship and the highest quality ingredients. Today, Balik Salmon remains a symbol of luxury and exceptional taste, enjoyed by connoisseurs around the world.
