Cold Smoked Salmon From Aldi
Aldi carries Cold Smoked Salmon year round in the refrigerated deli section along with a few different varieties that rotate in throughout the year as Aldi Finds. Cold smoked salmon at Aldi is typically sold pre-sliced and ready to eat.
Of course Aldi also carries a variety of fresh, frozen, and canned salmon. Check out all of the non-smoked Aldi Salmon here.
Lox VS Cold Smoked Salmon VS Gravlax
It can be easy to get these three preparations of salmon confused since they tend to look similar and have some overlap in technique.
First lets talk about smoke. Smoked salmon obviously is smoked and will pick up some of those flavors while lox is not smoked. Gravlax, like lox, is not traditionally smoked either, BUT Aldi does sell Cold Smoked Salmon Gravlax.
The next difference is how they are cured. Lox is typically cured in a salty brine and gravlax is cured with salt, sugar and dill along with some other additions depending on the recipe. Smoked salmon is typically cured as well but it is a general term that covers any salmon that has been smoked.

Cold Smoked VS Hot Smoked Salmon
The main difference between cold smoked salmon and hot smoked salmon is the texture of the final product. Cold smoked salmon will still have a raw salmon texture while the hot smoked salmon will be closer to firmer and flakier, closer to regularly cooked salmon (but still different).
I don’t recall seeing hot smoked salmon at my Aldi in the past but in other stores it is typically sold in larger chunks or fillets vs the thinly sliced cold smoked salmon.

Specially Selected Cold Smoked Salmon Gravlax
Gravlax is a similar to lox but it is usually cured with salt, sugar, and dill instead of just a salt brine. Beyond that it can be flavored with other seasonings as well but it will be pretty similar to other cold smoked salmon or lox. Gravlax is a Scandinavian preparation and is often served with rye bread and a mustard sauce.
