ESSENCE
The world's only aromatised salmon
Because we have stuck to the same values as we have had since the start and because of the passion that we put into our products, Domínguez now regarded as one of the Jewels of Haute Cuisine.
1960 THE UNREPEATABLE STORY OF AROMATISED SALMON
When he was only 17 years old, our founder, Mr. José Mestanza, set off to the Asturian rivers in search of fresh salmon to fulfil his dream of creating a very special, and very different kind of smoked salmon.
His daring passion meant that, after months of intense work, he produced a smoked salmon that seemed aromatised rather than smoked, and all because of the surprising delicacy and lightness of its nuances.
From there, he began to market it under the name of Ahumados Domínguez, in honour of his mother's maiden name. It was not long before it was on the menus of the best restaurants in Spain.

OUR SECRET FORMULA, AN UNRIVALLED LEGACY
We have kept the smoking method devised by our founder intact and in utmost secrecy for more than 60 years. Throughout this journey, our smoked salmon has become firmly established as a benchmark of haute cuisine and Ahumados Domínguez has continued to grow, and never swaying from its foundational values: totally handcrafted production and utmost quality.
Despite having evolved and grown over several decades, at Domínguez each salmon is still prepared as if it were the only one of the day, because that is the only way to offer the indisputable guarantee that our brand conveys.
