Clam seeds for farming.
Oceano Fresco sells seeds to other farmers (typically 15-20 cm in length). As it has integrated operations, it is able to guarantee 100% traceability....
We only grow the two main species of native European clams; Venerupis corrugata (´Pullet Carpet Shell´) and Ruditapes decussatus (´Grooved Carpet Shell´).
To guarantee availability, it is necessary to make a pre-booking request with commercial conditions to be agreed in advance. Priority is given to farmers who co-invest and develop commercial partnerships, including the sharing of technical cultivation information.

COMMERCIAL PARTNERS
Adult-sized clams for final consumption.
Oceano Fresco’s main business area is to grow clams to adult size, (typically with 30-50 mm in length) to sell in fresh to customers who then supply for final consumption....
We only grow the two main species of native European clams; Venerupis corrugata (´Pullet Carpet Shell´) and Ruditapes decussatus (´Grooved Carpet Shell´). Both are the most sought after species within the high quality or premium market segment.
We serve various types of customers, typically fresh fish and seafood distributors (who serve seafood restaurants, other restaurants, hotels, markets and high quality fishmongers) but selectively also retail, industry and others.
Our selective distribution model is based on creating a partnership with large customers who are able to order large quantities and can ensure quality coverage in high consumption geographic areas, in order to place ‘Oceano Fresco’ branded clams in the ‘out-of-home’, traditional and retail channels.

The clams grow tender and tasty in our open sea farm in the Atlantic Ocean with high quality “Class A” water. We can confidently guarantee clams of the highest quality, with no sand and no need for depuration.
Scalability
We have the technical capacity to scale faster, both in our hatchery and in the open sea farm, which allows us to establish partnerships with strategic customers and plan future capacity increases.
