Murray River Smokehouse | Naturally Better Smallgoods

Q: What does "chemical nitrite free" mean?

Most smallgoods are cured with synthetic sodium nitrite. Murray River Smokehouse cures with fermented celery instead, a natural source of nitrite, so there are no added chemical nitrites, no fillers, no artificial colours or flavours and no liquid smoke. Everything is hot smoked over Australian hardwood in wood-fired ovens.

Q: Are Murray River Smokehouse products gluten free?

Yes. The smoked meats, fish and smallgoods are gluten free and sugar free, and every pack lists its ingredients on the front.

Q: Where can I buy Murray River Smokehouse products?

At the Smokehouse, 417 Tribune St, Albury NSW (Tuesday to Thursday, 10am to 4pm), at the Smokehouse Deli inside Harris Farm Markets, 614 Young St, Albury (7 days, 8:30am to 6:30pm), or online at https://www.murrayriversmokehouse.com.au. Phone 02 6021 3987.

Arthur Butt with our famous smoked trout

Smoking in Albury since the 1950s

Arthur Butt's wood-smoked rainbow trout made this smokehouse famous, with customers including visiting Royals and Parliament House. Since 2016 Anthony Ainsworth and Marie Bucher have kept the original smoke oven burning: Australian hardwood, fermented celery instead of synthetic nitrites, and nothing artificial.

I've just had the most amazing salami experience of my life! While vacationing in Albury, I had the good fortune of meeting some fantastic folks selling this exceptional salami. We decided to try it in a focaccia, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight. I would gladly make another trip to Albury just for this salami – It's that delicious!
