Packaging
Mussels
All our mussels (apart from the traditional jute sacks) are
packed in leak-free trays and under vacuum. After all, this means
the mussels stay fresh for longer!
We use both consumer packaging and bulk packaging. The bulk
packaging is mainly suited for the catering industry.
With regard to our consumer packaging: we make both 'dry' vacuum
packaging and vacuum packaging filled with water. We are particularly
proud of our water packaging! Thanks to our unique packaging
method – that we developed ourselves – our mussels
retain their freshness and taste en route to the consumer. There
is no better mussel packaging!
Oysters
Oysters are still packed manually(!). Most of the oysters are
packed in the traditional packaging: a wooden oyster basket.
In the basket, the oysters are laid with the rounded side downwards.
This means the liquid stays in the shell. We then fill the basket
up with seaweed in order to maintain the moisture level in the
packaging. Moreover, the oysters are closely packed, thus preventing
them from opening too soon and drying out. Besides the traditional packaging, we now sell leak-free (vacuum)
oyster packaging. This consumer-friendly packaging contains fewer
oysters and is watertight. |
