WHO ARE WE?


Algamar is the leading Spanish firm specialising in dried algae (sea vegetables) for human consumption.

The company was founded in 1996 by the Fernández Sáa brothers, Clemente and Fermín, with the aim ofpromoting and spreading the word about the marvellous nutritional properties of Galicia’s native marine algae.

Its headquarters are in the Bay of Vigo, 18 km from the city of Vigo and 30 km north of the Portuguese border. Most of the company’s algae are harvested on the southern coast of Galicia, in the area classified by the European Union as part of the Natura 2000 network, very close to the Atlantic Islands Natural Reserve.

HARVESTING, DRYING AND PREPARATION


Algamar is a pioneer in the harvesting, processing and direct productionof sea vegetables and has the legal recognition of the Autonomous Regional Government and its Department of Fishing, Shellfishing and Aquiculture.

We use edible algae studied by specialised and internationally accepted official bodies.

As harvesters of wild edible algae, the company has a “Waters Exploitation Plan”, approved annually by the public Fishing Authority and published in the Official Bulletin of Galicia (DOGA). This plan guarantees that the resources taken from the sea are renewable and maintain the balance of the ecosystem.
The algae are collected by hand on the rocks and usually in the water, selecting and cutting the adult plants at their optimum point of development, just before they wither.

Following their selection and harvesting from the sea, the fresh algae are checked, subjected to a second selection process and then desiccated in drying chambers, at a low temperature, for human consumption as a dehydrated vegetable. In this way the air and the algae’s own sea salt provide long-lasting, natural preservation.

Low temperature drying preserves the maximum nutritional value

The company’s modern, stainless steel facilities, which it designed itself, can dry up to 4 tons of freshly-harvested algae a day. This makes some 400 kilos of dehydrated sea vegetables, ready to be packaged in sheets or to be ground for use as an ingredient in one of the products made with algae.

Dulse Organic (100g) - Algamar

Dulse is probably our favourite seaweed, closely followed by nori and sea spaghetti. We love dulse because it doesn't need soaking, for its sweet and tender flavour, and because it is purple. We love to eat whole bowls of dulse with a little dressing! Or try the dulse crackers recipe in Eat Smart, Eat Raw, or dulse crisps from Raw Living.
