Mazzetta Launches Oishii Live Frozen Shrimp Brand
(UNITED STATES, 1/12/2019)
The Mazzetta Company has announced the launch of a new line of premium shrimp that is transported live for processing, process that improves its flavor and helps to retain its colour and texture.
The Oishii new product is the result of an association with Thailand based company Charoen Pokphand (CP) Foods, Mazzetta´s shrimp-farming partner.
Oishii shrimp farms are located only minutes away from the production facilities. Oishii shrimp are harvested through dedicated small-batch farming methods. Proprietary pond construction, cutting-edge farming techniques and strict water quality monitoring allows to produce a quality of shrimp that is second to none.
Fresh hand-processing naturally preserves the color and taste profile of the shrimp.
Shrimp are transported by the company’s unique aerated live transportation system to ensure freshness from pond to plant. Every single shrimp is transported alive and swimming in controlled, aerated vessels. Shrimp arrive fresh and are processed by hand immediately to preserve the quality of each and every shrimp.Whereas typical shrimp farms may be hours away, Oishii shrimp go from swimming to frozen within in just four hours.
