Innovative aquaculture for modern salmon farming

Growing organically

This explains our commitment to the further development of salmon farming. In the 2025 reporting year, Ventisqueros produced around 49,100 tonnes of salmon whilst maintaining the proportion of ASC- and BAP-certified harvested biomass at 100 per cent. These standards assess, amongst other things, environmental management, animal welfare, feed, working conditions and the impact on local communities.

Quality with a difference: the Ventisqueros brands

Ventisqueros has been involved in salmon farming in Chile for over 30 years. Every year, the company produces around 55 thousand gross tons of salmon and maintains control over the entire process – from the eggs to the selection of the ingredients for the feed through to sales and distribution. This means that Ventisqueros can continuously improve its products and establish new brands.

BLUGLACIER

BLUGLACIER

BluGlacier was founded in 2016 as a US joint venture between two leading salmon producers in Chile, Blumar and Ventisqueros. The salmon are farmed in Chile’s remote cold-water fjords. Today, BluGlacier, together with Blumar and Ventisqueros, remains committed to improving people’s lives and driving success in the aquaculture sector.

SILVERSIDE PREMIUM PACIFIC SALMON

SILVERSIDE PREMIUM PACIFIC SALMON

Silverside™️ is a premium Pacific salmon product with a rich colour and excellent flavour. It is fully traceable and carries certifications for ethical and sustainable aquaculture. Ventisqueros uses feed containing, among other things, AlgaPrime™️ DHA, which reduces the need for fish oil. This means that each salmon only needs to be fed 0.5 kilograms of pelagic fish. This in turn means that Ventisqueros produces more fish than it takes from the ocean.

PRISTINE

PRISTINE

Ventisqueros farms salmon in the crystal-clear waters of Patagonia to meet the demands of the Japanese market: the Pristine brand promises sashimi-grade quality, 100 per cent pre-rigor processing (immediately after catch), intense colour and outstanding texture. The Atlantic salmon fillets come from a production operation where, in the 2025 reporting year, 100 per cent of the harvested biomass was certified to ASC and BAP standards.

Ventisqueros farms Oshēn by BluGlacier salmon in the waters off Patagonia in Chile. This sushi-grade Atlantic salmon is ASC, BAP, BRC and kosher certified and, like all Ventisqueros products, is free from microplastics, hormones and heavy metals. The fresh salmon is shipped from Chile to retailers across the US.
