Fish don’t sleep.
The seabed and its inhabitants hold a world of mysteries and curiosities with a lot to teach us.
But, even more, the sea has a lot to offer us!
The diversity of species existing in the sea and now transformed into CANS guarantee their purity and the sustainability of the Oceans.
With no colouring or preservatives and enjoying the original flavour of the fish anytime and anywhere, our cans provide richness from a nutritional point of view and an enormous variety of flavours.
Inside our cans you can find 32 different species, but all the same as a source of healthy fats and proteins. Omega 3 fatty acids are very important for our vascular health, anti aging and cognitive functions. Proteins are of high biological value and excellent digestibility.
