Our Seaweed
Our Seaweed
There are three types of algae: red, brown and green. In Norway, there are almost 500 species of algae from across the three groups. We focus most of our harvesting efforts on the six species below, partly because of their abundance, and partly due to their excellent flavour and texture. Click on the images below to find out more about each type.
Sustainable harvesting
As one of the few companies that harvests wild algae, protecting the ecosystem is our highest priority. We use carefully reviewed harvesting and monitoring methods to ensure healthy regrowth and minimal impact to marine life. We harvest only in the cleanest waters, away from human activity. We capture our harvest data and report the catch to Råfisklaget.
