These are the main keys to the success of our vacuum-packed cooked octopus.

Atlantic octopus

At Salanort we only work with the Atlantic octopus. Octopus from the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean is caught using traditional artisanal fishing techniques. Respect for the environment and sustainable fishing are fundamental values of our work philosophy.

Cold water is key to obtaining excellent quality octopus. We work only with "Japan Octopus Quality", the highest quality, meaning that octopus is frozen within three hours of being caught.

Octopus fishing: quality and sustainable fishing

We fish in the Atlantic Ocean to offer you an octopus of superior quality. Cool water temperatures are essential for obtaining a high quality product. As well as our octopus from the Cantabrian Sea, at Salanort we work with octopus according to the Japan standard, a stamp guaranteeing top quality as far as fishing is concerned. This means that the octopus are frozen within no more than three hours of being caught.

Our pledge to offering quality octopus in no way clashes with our commitment to the environment. Sustainable fishing is a fundamental value of our work philosophy; that’s why we always fish in the cold waters of the Atlantic with traditional artisan fishing techniques.
