Now available from Mevalco (the home of exceptional Spanish ingredients) comes stunning Red Alistado Prawns – offering chefs quality, provenance and value in a challenging seafood market that is seeing costs continue to rise.

Sourced from the cold, pristine waters of the South-West Atlantic, Red Alistado Prawns are slow growing, benefiting from ideal natural conditions that produce firm, juicy flesh with a delicate, slightly sweet flavour often compared to lobster. Their vivid red colour, elongated body and distinctive rostrum make them instantly recognisable as a premium shellfish, equally suited to refined seafood dishes or simple, ingredient-led preparations.

What sets these prawns apart is not only their origin, but the expertise behind their sourcing and processing. They are carefully selected by artisanal partners to Mevalco who have more than a century of experience in seafood. Generations of knowledge are combined with advanced processing technology, including IFS Food-certified systems and ultrasonic processing, to optimise freshness, texture and shelf life – ensuring every prawn reaches the kitchen in peak condition.

Highly regarded by leading chefs and high-end kitchens across Spain, Red Alistado Prawns offer reliability as well as quality. Their consistent size, clean flavour profile and excellent performance in service make them a practical choice at a time when chefs are seeking premium ingredients that justify their place on the menu.

David Menendez, Managing Director at Mevalco, comments:

“Chefs are telling us that maintaining seafood quality has never been more challenging. Our role is to support them with products that combine provenance, consistency and value. Red Alistado Prawns are a perfect example – exceptional raw material, handled with care and expertise, and priced in a way that allows chefs to keep premium seafood firmly on the menu.”

Available frozen in 1kg boxes (40–45 pieces per kilo), Red Alistado prawns provide flexibility for professional kitchens while delivering a true taste of the ocean – a product shaped by tradition, expertise and a responsible approach to sourcing.

Discover the Wild Magic of Porcini – Introducing Mevalco’s Premium Boletus Range.

If you love ingredients that tell a story, you’ll want to get your hands on Mevalco’s new wild porcini mushrooms, freshly arrived from the province of Soria in northern Spain.

Located in the north of the Castilla y León region, Soria is one of the most sparsely populated areas in Spain, a land of pure air, ancient forests and unspoilt landscapes. It’s a true mushroom paradise, offering some of the most fertile conditions for porcini anywhere in Europe. These mushrooms are small wonders of nature – full of aroma, texture, and that deep earthy flavour every chef looks for.

Frozen within minutes of being picked to lock in freshness and flavour, the mushrooms retain their perfect texture and structure, so what arrives in your kitchen is just as nature intended – pure, rich and ready for that golden caramelisation on the plancha or in the pan.

Available whole, sliced, or in chunks, these are mushrooms that elevate everything they touch – from a simple risotto to a signature tasting menu.

Sabor del bosque! – a true taste of the forest.
