Import Cockles — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Spain

Cockles from Conservas Dani are harvested from the Galician coast, specifically from the Ría de Arousa and Ría de Muros estuaries, where salinity and tidal patterns support natural bed growth. The product is delivered as shelled, cooked, and chilled cockles with a net weight of 1.5 kg per vacuum-sealed tray, packed 10 trays per carton. Moisture content is maintained below 82% to ensure shelf stability without preservatives.

These cockles are classified as Cerastoderma edule, the common European cockle, with an average shell length of 25 to 35 mm. The processing follows traditional Galician methods: steamed in seawater, mechanically sorted, and rinsed in potable water before chilling. No additives or brine solutions are used. This aligns with standard EU practices for ready-to-eat shellfish, where natural preservation and minimal handling are industry norms.

Cockles from Conservas Dani are primarily purchased by seafood distributors in Western Europe, high-end restaurants in Germany and the Netherlands, and specialty retailers serving Mediterranean cuisine. Orders are fulfilled in full cartons only, with no partial case splits. Delivery is made under FCA terms from the Vilassar de Mar warehouse, with lead times of 5 to 7 business days after order confirmation. Packaging complies with EU food contact material regulations and is marked with batch traceability codes.

Conservas Dani operates from a processing facility in Vilassar de Mar, Barcelona, with direct access to Spain’s northern seafood supply chain. The company is registered as an importer and distributor of shellfish, verified through Spanish customs records and EU hygiene registration. It does not operate harvesting vessels and relies on contracted harvesters from Galicia and Asturias. The business has no public history of certifications or audits beyond standard food import licensing.

Response metrics are not available, and the supplier does not publish information on staff size, annual volume, or client lists. The listing confirms no direct export experience outside the EU, and logistics are managed through third-party freight agents. All product handling occurs in a facility registered under EU Regulation 852/2004, but no additional quality certifications such as HACCP or BRC are stated or implied.
