In the
early '70's Anthony Creswell's father, a keen fisherman, started
smoking the
salmon he and his friends were catching on the local
rivers, the Argideen, the
Bandon, and the Blackwater. After much trial
and error, he perfected methods
which remain unchanged today. The word
spread and so the business
grew.
In
May 1998, Anthony
Creswell took over the running of the Company from his father.
The
smoking was transferred in October 2000 to a new custom built smokehouse, 1
km upstream of its original location on the River Argideen; this will
enable
Ummera to move into the next decade with the confidence that its
quality will be
second to none.
In 2002, Ummera was awarded the Organic Trust symbol for
sourcing,
processing and distribution of Certified Organic Smoked Salmon. This
award enables Ummera to add an exciting new range to our long
established and
much sought after Smoked Wild Salmon. |
