The bivalve mollusk farm, spanning over 30 hectares, is one of our main strengths. Our company employs innovative mussel farming systems, with offshore long-line nurseries in the Bay of Castro, Salento.
The rows supported by floating ropes keep the mussels on the surface, where they can obtain more nourishment. In this body of water, mussels and oysters can filter phytoplankton, mineral salts, and other 100% natural nutrients, acquiring the sensory properties of the Bay of Castro, which make them unique to the palate.
The entire supply chain, from farming to purification, involves precise steps that follow the principle of environmental sustainability, subject to continuous quality controls.
This aspect is fundamental for us and has allowed us to initiate the procedure to obtain recognition from Friend of the Sea, the international non-governmental organization that aims to safeguard the marine environment. After thorough third-party audits, the NGO awarded us this prestigious certificate.
The nurseries of Marevivo, in fact, in addition to complying with national and EU regulations, bring benefits to the entire marine habitat of the Bay of Castro. The anchorages have holes that transform into real dens for local fish species, which settle and reproduce there.
