Where are the Green Lipped Mussels sourced?


The area where the Green Lipped Mussels are grown is situated off the coastline of the North Island of New Zealand. The mussels are grown in the clean coastal waters and even though the area already has a Blue Ocean Environmental Award, the ocean water, as well as the mussels are constantly monitored for safety – bacteria, toxins and heavy metals.

The mussels are grown on long rope lines hanging vertically in the water, and are constantly checked and thinned out to ensure the perfect growing environment. They are then harvested at the peak of their condition and shipped immediately in refrigerated trucks to the manufacturing base, only a short distance from where they are grown, as freshness is essential to provide a high quality extract. On reaching the factory the mussels are put into a cold storage facility before being processed.
