FAQ

Our manufactory is a small scale cannery based in Portugal (EU), recognized for strictly maintaining a very unique method of artisanal production, based on traditional manual expertise and social responsability. Being small in scale also means we only need to source fish in a sustainable manner and quantity, respecting the established quotas / fishing periods to enable the necessary reproductive cycle of the fish at sea and therefore, it’s sustainability as a wild specie for the future.
Througout the generations – by privileging the human experience and local employment values above unmeasured growth & numbers we have decided to keep this kind of art strictly manual, instead of using machines or taking an industrial/automatization process.
NURI was the brand that was always sent to the markets outside Portugal. Completely hand wrapped, it grew in some specific markets like Austria or the north of Italy.

We kept tradition and maintained both brands but both are made with the traditional method of production.
