Description

Raw frozen sea urchin tongues · story and datasheet

Raw and frozen Patagonian red sea urchin tongues represent a commercial evolution of the traditional fresh format.

When individually frozen immediately after extraction and sorting, they dramatically extend shelf life without compromising the product’s organoleptic profile.

This format enables maritime export to Asia, USA and Europe, significantly reducing logistics costs compared to fresh product transported by air, while also allowing commercial availability outside the harvest season.

  • Enables off-season commercialization without depending on fresh format.
  • Reduces logistics costs through maritime export.
  • Maintains color, texture and integrity after slow thawing.
