 Or as we say in Wales - CROESO!
Firstly, thanks for visiting our site we hope very much that you will find some exiting produce that will interest you - READ ON!!
Derimon (translated from Welsh means 'The Oaks of Anglesey') - The name is derived from the fact that our property - Deri Isaf (meaning Lower Oaks) is derived from the Welsh name for Oak - 'Derwen' - much of this part of Anglesey was an oak forest in times gone by and many place names are linked to this fact.
Smoking and brining is, of course, the original method for preserving food prior to refrigerators and freezers and many properties, including ours, had their own artisanal smoke houses for this purpose. Times have, of course, moved on somewhat and we now smoke for the added flavour rather than for the need to preserve. Today we also have vaccum packing together with the smoking and brining leading to extended shelf life wither in fridge or freezer.
 Our family business is based on several years of smoking for our own family and friends, using our own 400 year old oak shavings and sawdust derived from natural gale damage!! This has now developed into a state of the art smokery, still retaining the traditional recipies, some unique to ourselves for maximum flavour, but complying with all EU food safety legislation. Be assured that our produced has NO CHEMICALS, DYES, Or ARTIFICIAL FLAVOURING WHATSOEVER.
Being the only remaining smokery on our beautiful island of Anglesey we are pationate about our business and would love to share this experience with you.
In November 2006 Derimon was awarded the small producer silver award in the True Taste of Wales Competition for our Anglesey Cured Smoked Back Bacon. We are justifyably very proud of this accolade and look forward to entering many more of our produce for this and wider competitions in the future. As our Loyal Customers at farmers Markets say "If it walks, swims, flys or grows in the ground, Derimon will smoke it!" (And some more!)
 Our extensive range encompasses many Items from classic smoked salmon - cold or hot roast, poultry, game, meat, many cheeses through to tomatoes, welsh butter and sea salt. We hope you will find something to suit your pallet. Explore some new ideas and take a look at our range of seasonable recipies. Several items are ready to eaat and require no further cooking - the ultimate convenience foods - savour the flavour.
Wherever possible, we source our produce locally to ensure premium quality, no comparrison.
