Quality
Quality from the origin
Selection of octopus in the best cauldrons
Staff from the company itself select each octopus in the best fishing grounds to ensure quality from the source. We use, as raw material, the Moroccan octopus with its most valued variant: the Dakhla octopus, as well as other origins following a Japanese quality standard.
Cold chain
The octopus is frozen from the moment of selection, ensuring the cold chain in all phases of processing. In addition, the company has, in its own facilities, a cold room with a large storage capacity, for 3 million kilos, at a controlled temperature of – 18 degrees.
Quality controls
The quality department works, every day, to improve quality standards during all phases of the production process following rigorous traceability systems as established by the main organizations to guarantee food safety.
Modern production plant
All processes are carried out in a modern production plant, measuring 10,000 square meters and 100% automated, where tradition, innovation and specialization are combined to achieve a natural product with an authentic flavor, rich in protein and low in fat.
Every step counts
