About Valhalla Organic Salmon
Our Valhalla Norwegian Organic Salmon is produced by artisanal, privately owned Farms. We believe these smaller producers yield better results, for consumers and for the ocean - however the individual farms typically cannot provide consistent supply.
By working with a group of these small farms, we are able to supply Organic salmon year round. Valhalla Organic Salmon are immediately processed, packaged in Europe, to be shipped around the world.
Provenance
All of the farm’s locations are hand-picked to create the best conditions for the Valhalla Organic Salmon. The clear, deep Norwegian Fjords and coastline are perfect for the development of our Valhalla Organic Salmon.
Our unique exposed sites experience: High flow/water exchange rates, stable temperatures, salinity, and dissolved oxygen levels which all play a vital role in producing the Finest Organic Norwegian Salmon.
The wide dispersal of nutrient rich discharge from our sites aids the environmental assimilation of our inputs. When operated from a balanced perspective, fish farm discharge may stimulate the surrounding ecosystem by supporting food chains.
We have a third party carry out, on a regular basis, benthic surveys ensuring that our farming operations comply with requirements and that fish production does not come at the expense of local biodiversity.
The farms must adhere to the highest standards in order to carry the Valhalla name.
All of the farm’s processes are closely monitored, audited and inspected by the Debio, the leading Norwegian Organic Organization. The audits cover the brood-stock, fish feed, hatchery, sea farm and processing factory. Only companies that adhere to all of the requirements in the standard are allowed to market their salmon as “Organic”.
The Fish
The Feed
(List of Ingredients Available upon Request)
The fish are what they eat, and organic salmon are fed 100% on an organic certified diet. Only fishmeal and fish oil made from trimmings & off-cuts from fish processed for human consumption is used. No salmon off-cuts are allowed.
The pigment, which makes the salmon pink is vital for the health of the salmon and is made from naturally occurring microorganism Paracoccus Carotinifaciens. This microorganism is one of many components in the start of the food chain in the aquatic environment. The feed is also free from Genetically Modified Organism ingredients and has no artificial preservatives. We also prefer to have high % marine ingredients in the diet rather than substitution with cheaper land-based ingredients.This maintains the naturally high levels of omega 3 & 6 which is healthy for the fish and the consumer.
