Tasty Smoked Salmon takes Old School Craftsmanship

Posted on 08/03/2012 by kradmin

We serve hand-smoked salmon from Centralrøgeriet at Restaurant Kronborg. The salmon has been spiced and salted by hand, left to mature for two days and smoked over an open fire for two more days. All this to ensure our guests smoked salmon with optimum aroma, taste and texture.

“Danish restaurants and hotels have begun procuring hand-smoked salmon made with great old school craftsmanship. Chefs praise the salmon’s better aroma, taste and texture,” writes journalist Lars Dahlager in the MAD (FOOD) section of Danish daily, Politiken, on Sunday 4 March 2012.

The Salmon with the Best Aroma, Taste and Texture
Journalist Lars Dahlager from MAD has visited Københavns Røgeri and Centralrøgeriet; two of the last remaining smokehouses in Denmark to still hand-smoke their salmon. This means that they spice and salt the salmon by hand and leave them to mature for two days before smoking them over an open fire for two more days. All this to ensure the consumers smoked salmon with optimum aroma, taste and texture.
At Restaurant Kronborg we have been serving the savoury hand-smoked salmon from Centralrøgeriet in Nordhavn, Copenhagen since October 2011.

Jacobsen’s Popular Saaz Blonde – Now on Draft

Posted on 01/03/2012 by kradmin

Jacobsen’s popular Saaz Blonde is now available on draft. Saaz Blonde is the perfect companion to fatty fish, like rimmed salmon or smoked Greenland halibut.

The brew master at Carlsberg’s gourmet brewery, Jacobsen, listens to his followers and now launches popular Saaz Blonde on draft.

Blonde, Elegant and Fruity
Jacobsen has been inspired by the light, fruity biéres blondes from Belgium
and added a bit of elegant Czech Saaz hops, thus the name Saaz Blonde.
The beer is fruity with notes of ripe melon and dried apricots as well as a touch of pine
from the old Nordic plant kvan. Saaz Blonde is a full-bodied beer, almost
without bitterness, and fine for both experienced beer drinkers and people who
generally prefer wine with their food.
Jacobsen recommends Saaz Blonde for starters, fatty fish, cheese and dessert.
