In the beginning aquaculture was still new - we had to learn everything and keep on learning every day !
The search for perfection compels us to a constant challenge. We have therefore chosen to focus on quality rather than quantity. This is why we have chosen to engage in the process Label Rouge.
Some Spanish and Portuguese farms produce more than 1000 tons ofturbot a year. We produce a hundred. The superiority of our turbot Red Labelallows it to differentiate itself from mass production. This proven quality ensures the sale of all of our products with the high-end restaurant.
We work as a team. Label Rouge high standards mean constant effort throughout the year. But we reap the rewards when taste tests show consumers can't tell the difference between our Label Rouge turbot and a fresh caught turbot.
