We source our spirulina and chlorella from a small village in Portugal. Our partner farm is one of the largest European producers of sustainable, innovative microalgae products. The company pays particular attention to ecological, social and industrial sustainability and maintains optimised processes in terms of energy efficiency, resource conservation, employee satisfaction and safety.
The spirulina grows in large, open basins with a special culture medium, under conditions that are as close to nature as possible. Harvesting, which starts in March and continues through November, is conducted with sieving machines which carefully filter the single-celled microalgae out of the water. The concentrated spirulina from the sieve is then spray dried, which is a common process used to achieve a dry powder from liquid raw materials. The result is a concentrated, non-sterilised, nutrient-rich organic spirulina powder with a very fine particle size and a mild taste.
The chlorella is cultivated autotrophically and sustainably with natural light: it grows in a closed system using only sunlight, CO₂ and clear water. No artificial fertilisers are used, so the high organic quality of the algae is preserved. Our partner farm in Portugal is a pioneer in the field of modern and sustainable algae cultivation. Their state-of-the-art green technologies form a unique intersection between innovation and sustainability, and they follow the most stringent quality standards.
