Our sea lettuce is cultivated on Oléron Island, a site known for its exceptional marine biodiversity. This unique location allows for the natural growth of algae from April to the end of September, conditioned by specific weather factors. The lagoon system consists of 4 series of 3 basins, each covering a total area of 500 m². Harvesting is carried out with an amphibious machine, and the algae are then carefully processed to ensure the best possible quality.
This region, rich in history and tradition, values sustainable and environmentally-friendly production. The local expertise, combined with modern techniques, ensures algae production that meets CEVA recommendations for microbiology and heavy metals.
