RAW MATERIAL

Red Algae

Northern Coast of Spain

The raw material used for the extraction of Agar-Agar is the red algae Gelidium Sesquipedale.

Gelidium grows in the Atlantic Ocean along the Northern Coast of Spain, locally known as Cantabrian Sea and is considered to be amongst the most suitable raw material for the manufacture of high purity Agar-Agar.

Warehouse

When the seaweed is received in our factory, it is analysed, graded by quality and carefully stored. Our closeness to harvesting areas, together with our large, well organized network of buying agents, enables us to select the best algae and use them in the freshest condition and optimal state of ripeness.

ROKO has extensive warehousing facilities where a large stock of seaweed is permanently kept in accordance with their different features of application. This enables us to manufacture a wide range of specifications of Agar-Agar and guarantee constant supply to our clientele even in years when seaweed is scarce due to poor harvest.
