Quality and documentation
Toralla's buyer documentation can support export programs with product specifications, batch traceability, cold-chain handling, and certification references. Confirm packaging, labelling, glazing, carton count, and destination-market documents before order confirmation.
Storage and cold chain
The frozen product is held at -18°C and must not be allowed to partially thaw and refreeze, which damages texture and food safety. Toralla holds finished product in 65,000 m³ of cold storage at -18°C before shipment and across the ocean voyage. Confirm the production date, shelf life, storage temperature, and the customs documentation your destination market requires.
Origin and certification
Made from Mytilus chilensis, the Chilean blue mussel grown on long lines in the cold channels of Chiloé without touching the seabed. Toralla was the first Chilean mussel fishery to earn MSC certification and also holds Friend of the Sea, BRCGS, HACCP, and EU and US export approval. All certificates are available on request for buyer due diligence.
