Samhain Shona as we welcome the beginning of winter 🍂

Today marks the 1st of November and Samhain, an ancient festival that marks the end of the harvest season and the official beginning of winter in Ireland.

For generations, this turning point in the year marked a time to gather what the land has provided throughout the year, a time to prepare for the colder months ahead and come together over food, stories and tradition.

Here in the heart of the Burren, we feel a deep connection to the landscape, its heritage and the traditions that continue to shape how we live, work and share our food. At the Burren Smokehouse, our own craft is rooted in tradition and a respect for the natural elements, values that feel especially meaningful as the seasons change.

This Samhain, we celebrate Ireland’s rich cultural heritage and the simple pleasure of sharing good food as we welcome winter.

Samhain shona daoibh / Wishing you a happy Samhain 🍁

Here's an insight into some behind the scenes of our salting process...

We use just the right amount of sea salt to make our Burren Smoked Irish Organic Salmon safer and ever tastier for you to enjoy.

The salmon fillets are wet after the salt has been washed off so they need to be dried before they can absorb the smoke properly.

The fillets are placed on racks and the trolley is pushed into the kiln.

Our Burren Experiences not only allow you to learn more about our unique salting and smoking process as well as our techniques from start to finish, but we also show you our custom-designed kiln and smoke box, which is an integral part to our award-winning Smoked Salmon products.

A little spice, a lot of flavour ✨

Meet our Burren Hot Smoked Irish Organic Salmon - Spiced; a deliciously different take on our award-winning hot smoked salmon.

Our Irish organic salmon is carefully hot smoked using the traditional Scandinavian method, creating that distinctive flaky, tender and slightly drier texture that makes hot smoked salmon so delicious.

Then we add a colourful layer of aromatic spices and herbs, bringing warmth, fragrance and an extra dimension of flavour to every bite 🐟

It’s a wonderful choice for anyone looking to enjoy smoked salmon with a little more character, and a favourite even among those who don’t usually eat cold smoked salmon.

Serve it simply with fresh bread, add it to a salad or enjoy it as part of a brunch.

Exceptional Irish organic salmon, traditional smoking with a deliciously spiced finish.
