Organic Sea Bream, Gutted & Scaled, Ready to Cook
Kefalonia Organic Sea Bream Ready to Cook
(GREECE, 10/29/2012)
Kefalonia Fisheries was the first aquaculture company in Greece to create a series of organically produced fish. The company is regarded as a world-wide pioneer in the production of Mediterranean Sea Bass and Sea Bream.
The Highest Standard - the Kefalonia Fisheries' organic range - was certified organic to the Naturland Standards -one of the most respected, independent, third-party certification organizations- and was recently certified organic by BIO Hellas Institute. BIO Hellas Institute has been assessed and approved by the Hellenic Ministry of Rural Development and Food as an Inspection and Certification body for organic products, with the E.U code GR-BIO-03. The certification is a guarantee that organic standards are implemented at all stages of production with full traceability and quality control.

The packaging design for Kefalonia Fisheries’ new product, from the organic series, “Organic Sea Bream, Gutted & Scaled, Ready to Cook” has lately won the Gold Pentaward 2012, in the Food-Fish, Meat, and Poultry category. The packaging was designed by Kefalonia’s creative collaborators Mousegraphics. Kefalonia also offers "Organic Sea Bass, Gutted & Scaled, Ready to Cook” in the same range of products.
The new products offer a fresh, clean and ready to be consumed fish that does not require but the simple act of cooking it, with all the fine herbs which will bring forward its basic nutritious qualities. A differentiating band, on an otherwise transparent packaging, offers much more than the image of a serving suggestion. It works like an x-ray image of a pure product of Greek nature, as well as a preview of the particular culinary experience, the moment just -before-eating, when a fish is opened and all fine smells and juices are liberated.
