Organic (farmed mussels)
Fishermen have harvested shellfish in the Limfjord for several hundred years. The Danish Crown officially organized this practice as an industry in 1851 and in 1900, the Limfjord Company really put Wind in its sails and laid the Foundation to develop the Limfjord shellfish business as we know it today.
in 1986, Vilsund Muslinge Industri A/S was established, and in 2010 the Limfjord Company and Vilsund merged to form Vilsund Blue A/S, a Danish Company with roots and headquarters in Nykøbing Mors. In 2010, Vilsund Blue A/S was the first mussel producer to have its mussel and oyster production practices MSC certified as sustainable fishing.
We take great pride in our commitment to quality, sustainability, and responsible fishing practices, and we are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest-quality seafood products.
Respect for Nature - The Core of Our Business
One of the unique aspects of our company is our commitment to using every single part of the mussel. From the meat to the shells, we believe that every part of the mussel has value and should be used in a responsible way. This approach not only helps reduce waste but also ensures that our products are as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible.
When mussels are harvested, undersized ones are returned to the fjord, allowing them to grow larger and ensuring a healthy, sustainable mussel population. This helps keep the fjord’s ecosystem balanced and thriving.
During the summer months, mussel waste is repurposed as fertilizer for local farmers’ fields, enriching the soil with natural nutrients. Even the cooking water from the mussels is reduced and transformed into mussel powder or juice, giving it a second life in kitchens to enhance the flavor of dishes.
Additionally, the mussel shells are not discarded but find new uses such in flooring and insulation materials, ensuring that nothing is wasted in the production process.
