Salt as part of the finished product

In the production of salted fish and clipfish, salt is not just a preservative, it is a central ingredient in the product itself. The choice of salt type and quality affects shelf life, texture and flavor of the finished product.

Different types of salt for different needs

Saltimport supplies sea salt, rock salt and blended salt adapted to each customer's recipe and quality requirements. In addition to the salt used directly in processing, we also supply Sasomix, our salt and sugar blend, and fine refined vacuum salt for roe production.

The quality of the salt helps determine the quality of the finished product.
