STORY
​The founder of the company, had dried fish for many years in the West Fjords with the old traditional method.  The traditional drying method was always subject to climatic conditions in Iceland and could take a long time to have the products ready and the quality varied.

He began to ponder a method of how to dry fish more efficiently, which at the same time imitated the weather in Iceland. With this vision, he developed a method that was at once a unique and perfect way to produce dried seafood snacks that met all the quality requirements of excellent food processing and stable quality.

Since 2002 we have produced tasty and unique dried seafood snacks from high quality raw material. The dried seafood snacks from VON Iceland are undoubtedly the most popular dried seafood snacks in Iceland.
