Innovation
Unique packaging
Innovative, or rather revolutionary, is how we describe our
packaging concept whereby the mussels are packed in pure, salt
water and under vacuum. Compared with conventional (vacuum) packaging,
this offers the following advantages:
- by packing in water, a higher vacuum is possible
- the mussels thus remain closed
during transport to the consumer,
the mussels do not lose any moisture or protein
- THE MUSSELS THEREFORE
REMAIN FRESH FOR LONGER, AND
- THEY KEEP THEIR NATURAL, SALTY
TASTE!
- packed this way, the mussels are also much less sensitive
to temperature changes
Due to the longer shelf life of the mussels, this packaging
also offers logistic advantages. From the Netherlands, we export
our mussels without any problems to Belgium, France, Germany,
Poland, Austria, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, to mention
just some of our destinations. On arrival, the consumer harvests
the mussels out of the sea himself. They couldn’t be fresher!
Incidentally, we are the only company permitted to sell this
(patented) packaging.
Unique processing
Innovation is also a constant factor in the earlier
stages of the production process, resulting among other things
in our present (mussel) processing system. This system is so special
that it has been patented. Briefly, the procedure is as follows:
after the mussels have been sorted but before they are packed,
they are stored in pools of cooled, pure water from the Eastern
Scheldt. For this purpose we have designed and constructed a large
water purification plant. The mussels remain in the pools until
the customer’s
order arrives (packed to order). This system ensures that
our mussels are always packed in optimum condition!
