John Ross Jr will join other prestigious brands including Bentley, John Lewis and jewellers Mappin & Webb on July.11-14, 2013. As part of the festival celebrations, the fish merchants and curers to Her Majesty will build a replica of its traditional kilns in the royal grounds to provide guests and visitors with a snapshot of the art and craft that goes into the traditional salmon smoking process. In addition to its ‘simulated kilns’, John Ross Jr will be launching a limited edition celebration pack, ‘John Ross ‘Original’ Smoked Salmon’, a product that uses the original ingredients of a recipe that dates back 150 years and includes rum and sugar cane for flavor. Chefs will also be on hand to provide smoked salmon carving masterclasses and demonstrate how smoked salmon can be used in a variety of dishes ranging from blinis to bakes. “We are honoured to have been invited to showcase our award-winning smoked salmon products at this once in a lifetime event,” said John Ross Jr director, Christopher Leigh, in a statement. “Visitors will witness the level of dedication and commitment that goes in to creating some of the nation’s best-loved products. It also provides the chance for some of the world’s most prestigious brands to get together and celebrate 60 years of UK excellence in manufacturing and production.”
