❓ Frequently Asked Sourcing Questions
Q: Is the octopus tenderized?
Yes, our octopus undergoes mechanical tumbling/tenderizing ('asustado') in chilled fresh water during processing to relax the muscle fibers, ensuring a tender bite.
Q: What is flower-style octopus?
Flower-style is a presentation where the octopus is cleaned and frozen with its tentacles arranged outwards, resembling a flower. This makes it ideal for commercial display and easy handling.
Q: How is it harvested?
It is wild-harvested individually by traditional divers along the rocky coastal areas of Chile, guaranteeing a highly selective and sustainable fishing practice.
