The company says it sources its octopus exclusively from Dakhla, Morocco, in the eastern central Atlantic fishing area FAO 34, where it is caught and frozen daily. It says vacuum-packing the octopus in its own juices without artificial additives preserves flavor, texture, and nutritional qualities and gives it a minimum shelf life of 85 days.

Customers and reach

According to the company, it supplies more than 1,000 restaurants across Spain and is known to Spanish chefs. It is working to expand internationally.

Quality and certification

3 de Pulpo says it applies food-safety and traceability standards throughout production, complies with ISO rules, and is pursuing IFS, BRC, and MSC certification. It says its octopus comes from artisanal pot fishing, a selective method.
