Where seafood and octopus are cooked!

.

The optimum cooking process depends to a great extent on the seafood reaching its characteristic flavor and texture, peculiarities that have elevated these exquisite seafood to the altar of the Mediterranean and Atlantic gastronomies, two of the diets best valued by experts. If the process is carried out improperly, the product can be overcooked, making the flesh too soft and the shell sticks, making it difficult to remove later. When this happens, this delicacy ceases to be such to the palate, since it loses the taste that identifies it, more or less intense depending on the variety.

In order to ensure the quality of origin, Congelados Apolo takes special care in the preparation and processing of its products, which the company imports from the best fishing grounds in the world. For this purpose, the company from Granada, based in Loja, has its own seafood cooker , one of the best in Spain due to the technology it incorporates. This guarantees the optimum flavor and texture of the seafood with the strictest quality controls.

The Apolo cooker has the capacity to process 1,500 tons of seafood, that is, up to 4,000 kilos of product per day: hundreds of kilos of prawns, crab mouths and legs or crayfish… are prepared daily in this cooker. In shrimp alone, Apolo processes and packages around 800 tons per year in its facilities, with more than 5,000 meters for processing fish and seafood as well as for subsequent freezing.

The company, leader in Andalusia in the frozen sector, distributes its products to supermarkets all over the country, as well as to small stores, bars and hotels. Its cooker has become a hallmark for the guarantees it offers. Once cooked, the seafood is prepared using innovative systems in the frozen sector to preserve intact the organoleptic characteristics (flavor, color, texture) of the seafood for later consumption.
