Luận Nghiệp is a family-owned Vietnamese producer of traditional fish sauce from Kỳ Ninh Commune in the Kỳ Anh area of Hà Tĩnh Province. The brand was officially launched in 2016 but is based on family knowledge passed down through several generations from the grandfather of the founding family. Production is currently managed by the Chiến Thắng Cooperative for Seafood Purchasing and Processing. Members of the Đặng family involved in developing the brand include Đặng Thị Bình and Đặng Đình Minh. Fresh anchovies are sourced from Hải Khẩu fishing port which is located approximately 100 meters from the production facility. Larger and fattier anchovies from the fresh daily catch are selected for fermentation. Immediately after delivery the fish are mixed with purified sea salt in a ratio of approximately five parts fish to one part salt. The mixture is compressed and naturally fermented in large ceramic jars that are regularly exposed to sunlight. During maturation the liquid is drawn from the bottom and returned to the jars to encourage the even breakdown of fish proteins. Fermentation lasts approximately 24 months without the addition of chemicals, artificial flavorings or preservatives. The finished sauce has a clear golden-brown color, a pronounced anchovy aroma and a full savory-salty flavor with a naturally sweet finish. Production has expanded to an average annual capacity of approximately 800,000 liters.
