Indulge in the pure, sophisticated pleasure of this Nordic-inspired pairing. At the core, you'll find generous, satin-smooth slices of cold-smoked salmon, distinguished by their deep ruby hue and a profound, balanced smokiness. This luxurious, yielding fish is draped across a slice of dense, fragrant pumpernickel rye, its moist crumb and subtle, fermented tang providing the perfect earthy foil.
