Algamar

Algamar only uses edible algae that have been analyzed by internationally accepted specialized official bodies. As a harvester of wild, edible algae, the company has a “Waters Exploitation Plan”, which is approved annually by the official Fisheries Authority and published in the Official Journal of the Galicia (DOGA). This plan guarantees that resources that are extracted from the sea are renewed, in order to maintain the ecosystem balance.

The algae are collected out on the rocks and the plants are usually selected and cut directly in the water at their optimum point of development. After selection and sea harvest, the algae is checked and subjected to a second selection process, before being dried in drying rooms at low temperatures. In this way, the air and the algae”s own sea salt provide long-lasting, natural “preservation”. The algae are edible up to 4 years after they have been harvested and dried.
