With production rooted in Falkenberg and a long tradition of craftsmanship, Korshags has taken a pioneering role in introducing innovative and more sustainable seafood to Swedish consumers. The new product, available nationwide from June 25, combines excellent taste and quality with strong credentials in traceability and sustainability.
“We are proud to be the first to bring Salmon Evolution’s fish to Swedish consumers. This is an important step in making tomorrow’s sustainable seafood available today — combining superior taste and quality with full transparency and traceability,” says Sofia Ek, Market/Category Manager at Korshags and Ocean Collective.
Anders Jacobson, co-founder of Seven District and board member of Ocean Collective, comments:
“The launch of land-based salmon in Sweden is a milestone for both Korshags and Ocean Collective. It demonstrates how tradition and innovation can come together to accelerate the shift towards more sustainable seafood — and how entrepreneurial companies can lead the way in shaping the future of food.”
The launch underlines Ocean Collective’s strategy of combining tradition with innovation and accelerating the transformation of seafood towards the next generation of sustainable protein.
