• The pristine waters around the West Australian coastline are the perfect location to grow our Akoya – a seafood treasure native to WA.
• They are delicious cured, cooked or raw and can be complemented by a multitude of other flavors. It boasts a delicate and tender texture with a fresh ocean taste.
• Growing on dropper lines that create a reef-like home for all manner of marine life - similar to mussels - Akoya are deep water animals that are actually quite social.
• They like to grow together, which is why you find them grouped together as you pull them out of the water.
• The Leeuwin Coast Akoya are snap frozen as soon as they are harvested to ensure we lock in optimal freshness and quality.
• This enables our highly skilled farm team to always harvest the Akoya when they are in peak condition
• They harvest their Akoya at around 15 months of growth to allow for the optimal, most delicious taste and texture.
• Leeuwin Coast has made a long-term business-wide commitment to reduce carbon emissions contributing to carbon neutrality.
• They are the first aquaculture company within Australia to produce officially certified carbon neutral aquaculture products.
• This means you can enjoy 100% of the taste with zero guilt.
