We are convinced that indulgence is balm for the soul. We produce delicacies by hand in a wood-fired oven. This is how we create the best smoked fish in the first salmon smokehouse.

The unique success story of wood-fired salmon - probably the best smoked salmon in the world.

The young entrepreneurs were characterized by a pioneering spirit and great commitment when they were the first to start smoking salmon in the old Nordic tradition in Switzerland at the beginning of the 1960s.
Dyhrberg's wood-fired smoking changed the world of smoking. New, previously unknown worlds of taste opened up to connoisseurs.

Only selected, fine salmon from the Pacific and Atlantic find their way to Balsthal. These are filleted exclusively by hand, without any machines, sprinkled dry with valuable sea salt and then refined traditionally and uniquely in a wood-fired oven - as has been practiced for hundreds of years in Nordic countries and Russia.

The success proved them right: the high-quality product was well received. Soon, experts no longer wanted to do without Dyhrberg delicacies. Today, they are also available to a wide range of consumers via the retail trade, and not just the catering trade.

What is now achieved in the industry in just a few hours using computer control and state-of-the-art chrome steel ovens still takes almost a week at Dyhrberg. The most gentle production process differs significantly from the widespread industrial smoking process just mentioned. For several days, our master smoker uses all his knowledge and skills to produce these exceptional delicacies. To ensure the best quality, the pure manual work is consistently implemented to this day.

In line with our philosophy of promoting sustainable fishing, the product ranges are continuously adapted to the WWF guidelines and all fish that are classified as endangered are immediately removed from the range. Customers benefit from an adapted and ecological range that also enables our descendants to enjoy delicious fish.

In the wild-caught fish and aquaculture sector, Dyhrberg relies almost exclusively on MSC/ASC (Marine/Aquaculture Stewardship Council) certified companies and products (e.g. FOS Friend of the Sea). Dyhrberg is IFS-certified on the process side and a recognized Bio-Suisse company (Bud). Various wood-fired oven products are also Kosher certified.
