Company description

Pronofa ASA is the first in the world to use tunicates for large-scale food production. We utilize the local variant called Ciona which is found naturally along the coast of Norway and Sweden.

There are 3,000 different types of tunicates in the world. Some of these marine animals are considered delicacies in countries like South Korea («Meongge»), Chile («Piure») and France («Figue de Mer»), where they are usually served raw.

Purply on the other hand is a value-added product made from Ciona that mimics traditional meat types – for flavor, nutritional value and uses.

With a climate footprint of just 0,2 kg. CO2e per kg. Purply is also the world’s most climate-friendly meat.
