Lake Sevan, also known as Sevana lich, holds the title of the largest body of water in both Armenia and the Caucasus region. This freshwater high-altitude lake, nestled in Gegharkunik Province at an elevation of 1,900 m (6,234 ft), boasts a basin covering approximately 5,000 km2 (1,900 sq mi). The Sevan trout, also known as Ishkhan, is a species of fish native to Lake Sevan in Armenia. Renowned for its unique flavor and texture, this trout has been a significant part of Armenian cuisine. Over the years, conservation efforts have been implemented to protect and sustain the Sevan trout population in its natural habitat, contributing to the ecological balance of Lake Sevan.
SEVANI is a pioneering concept brand based in Armenia, dedicated to preserving the endangered Sevan trout from Sevan Lake. The brand’s mission extends to producing various trout fillets—freshly frozen, salted, smoked, and canned in a unique tomato sauce recipe. With a commitment to eco-friendliness, SEVANI opts for contemporary plastic containers and cans for packaging. The brand targets both international and local markets, aiming to launch its diverse product range in autumn 2024.
