It is the result of extensive experience in the field, combining with the latest mussels farming technologies and the knowledge gained over 30 years in close contact with the sea.<\/p>\n

The entire farming process of the Castrense Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis<\/strong><\/em>) is carried out with full respect for the marine habitat, with particular care given to the mussel\u2019s natural growth, as it filters nutrients directly from the sea water springs of the Bay of Castro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This stretch of water, off the Adriatic coast of Salento, gives the Castrense<\/strong> its unique qualities thanks to the sea\u2019s purity and the abundance of phytoplankton and mineral salts.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The innovative offshore farm complies with the strictest bio-sustainability<\/strong> standards and, in fact, it provides a positive contribution to the marine environment by encouraging the natural reproduction of local fish species. Its anchoring system features holes that serve as shelters for fish, inviting them to settle.<\/p>\n

Our commitment to environmental protection in the cultivation of the Castrense Mussel<\/strong> has earned us an important recognition from the international organization \u201cFriend of the Sea\u201d<\/strong>, which awards bio-sustainable seafood production following rigorous audits.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2637″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2638″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2641″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
