This is followed by the salting phase, conducted atcontrolled temperature and pressure according to a defined protocol. The progressive control of dehydration allows for the optimal balance of the product to be reached, without compromising the natural structure of the fish. <\/p>

<\/p>

The ingredients are then incorporated through a vacuum emulsion<\/strong> process<\/strong>, which promotes uniform distribution and helps preserve aroma, color, and consistency. Processing continues at a controlled temperature using 4.0 process technologies, ensuring production continuity, precision, and aperfectly homogeneous texture. <\/p>
