Optimum freshness for a unique flavour.
Consistently high quality defines our products. We are committed to fair trade in high-quality fish and seafood products and ensure that this will remain the case.

The freshness of our products is particularly important to us. We offer fish and seafood that is frozen directly from the sea, lake, river or sustainable aquaculture on site. This ensures that our products reach you in optimum freshness.

For the environment.
By treating nature with care, we want to ensure that resources – whether in the water or on land – are protected. Fish stocks must also be preserved for future generations, and we prioritise this goal. That is why we only work with producers who share this aspiration with us.

To ensure this, our employees regularly visit the production facilities around the world to gain an impression of them. We attach particular importance to producers who are MSC, ASC and/or GlobalGAP certified. This is how we aim to guarantee maximum sustainability, freshness, flavour and product safety.

Diversity and flexibility.
We offer a wide variety of high-quality, carefully caught fish and seafood products. However, if your desired product is not listed, this is not a problem: thanks to our long-standing relationships with selected producers worldwide, we can react quickly and flexibly to your needs. We are happy to accept requests regarding raw materials, calibre, cuts and packaging and generally implement them directly at our manufacturers.

Conscious nutrition made easy.
Fish and seafood are not only versatile in flavour, but also rich in protein, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Sea fish can also make an important contribution to meeting iodine requirements. Fish should therefore be integrated into the diet to make it balanced. Our Mas Mar products stand for not only healthy, but also enjoyable food. 

A network of responsible and sustainable breeders.
We also place the highest demands on the products that we source from aquacultures. Animal welfare and animal health must be guaranteed in order to qualify as sustainable production and be sourced by us.

In the country of production, we already ensure that the high quality standards for the condition of the goods, as well as for husbandry and rearing, are met. To this end, we carry out regular quality checks on site and before delivery in Germany. This is how we ensure that we fulfil the expectations made of our high-quality and healthy products.

Responsible enjoyment.
Our high standards can only be maintained by working with partners who share our values: transparency, openness, trust and responsibility for outstanding quality. That is why we apply strict selection criteria when choosing our fishermen. This is the only way to guarantee the quality of our products.

The majority of our wild fish are fished in accordance with the strict rules of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for the protection of the oceans. The fish are processed and frozen directly on site and then travel to our customers. In this way, we guarantee optimum freshness, preservation of the consistency and a natural flavour.

Ensuring the highest standards. 
Our cattle are sourced exclusively from Uruguay. This small country in South America is following a unique path in cattle farming, as the vast grasslands offer ideal conditions for breeding top-quality Black Angus cattle.
The cattle initially feed on grass from the pastures in free-range farming and are later switched to grain. The hygiene standards are first-class and production and processing are 100% traceable. We can therefore guarantee a high level of quality and safety.

Sustainable transport
RICO RANCHO fresh meat products are shipped directly from their country of origin, Uruguay, to Europe in constantly refrigerated containers.

The only way to create quality.
Quality is a matter close to our hearts – that’s why we always maintain personal contact with our producers and the farms in Uruguay. Regular visits to the production facilities ensure that the quality of our deliveries is always guaranteed.
Our breeders prioritise the health of the cattle and give them the time to develop to optimum slaughter maturity with dedication and care. This is done without the addition of hormones, antibiotics or medicines, which are even prohibited by law in Uruguay. We can therefore guarantee maximum freshness, flavour and food safety.

Natural rearing ensures the best flavour.
Our RICO RANCHO fresh meat products are characterised by a particularly fine taste. One of the reasons for this is that the young animals grow up under natural conditions. This allows them to eat only grasses and mineral-rich plants in the open pasture during their rearing period and to be in constant motion. They are only fed grain for 120 days from a weight of 350 kg. Slaughtering the cattle in the immediate vicinity also spares them stress. All these efforts ensure the finest flavour and meat that is characterised by a fine marbling and little surface fat.

Maturation
To become tender and flavourful, our meat has to mature – RICO RANCHO meat is refined using the certified wet-aged process. After slaughtering, the meat is removed directly from the bone and hermetically vacuum-packed. It then matures for at least 35 days to become tender and aromatic and retain its intense flavour.

For enjoyment without remorse: certainty about the origin.
From birth to slaughter and beyond to the portioned piece of meat, RICO RANCHO fresh meat products are 100% traceable.
Uruguay is the first country in Latin America to require its entire meat production to be optically and electronically labelled. This guarantees customers 100% transparency.

External quality confirmation: RICO RANCHO is certified as an IFS Broker.
Certification as an IFS Broker sets high standards, which RICO RANCHO fulfils. Our products therefore guarantee a demonstrably high international quality standard throughout the entire value chain, which is regularly monitored both internally and externally.

Safety
The safety of our fresh meat products is our greatest asset. That is why we ensure that our quality standards are always already met in the country of production – this applies to the quality of the product as well as the husbandry and rearing of our cattle. The use of state-of-the-art cooling technology to precisely maintain the storage temperature guarantees compliance with the highest quality standards.

Availability
We guarantee the best possible flow of goods. As we have long-standing relationships with selected producers and breeders, we can react quickly and flexibly to customer requests. The best proof of this quality feature is the numerous customers who have been loyal to us for years.

We have a passion for the highest quality products.
Our standards are uncompromisingly maintained at the highest level for our customers – through transparency, openness, trust and a passion for quality meat. This quality is guaranteed, in particular, by strict selection criteria for producers and breeders, who must provide evidence of complete traceability and healthy, species-appropriate husbandry.

Our fresh meat products are always delivered as whole cuts. We also ensure that our goods arrive at their destination on time with the help of our smooth logistics. Our contacts will welcome you in many languages, provide you with expert advice and take the time you need.

That is why we personally select our suppliers on site and carry out quality checks at every point in the value chain. This is how we guarantee maximum product safety.

At Fairera, we rely on natural ingredients to create a unique flavour experience. Plant-based protein sources such as soy, chickpeas and peas provide an excellent basis for making tasty vegan products such as meat substitutes and falafel.

Soja
Our textured soy protein absorbs natural flavoursduringcooking or frying. We only use wholefood, partially defatted soy texturate, produced from thermally treated, non-genetically modified soy beans (NON-GMO). Our detection method for this is a qualitative PCR test with a limit value of <0.1%. Full traceability back to the farmer and NON-GMO status have been tested and confirmed. Soy is a natural product that may be subject to harvest-related variations. These fluctuations are minimised as much as possible by selection of the raw materials. Thanks to the purely mechanical manufacturing process, the product is free from chemical additives.

Chickpeas
Especially as a meat substitute and because of their high protein content, you will get your money’s worth with chickpeas, because their mild, nutty flavour makes them suitable for numerous dishes. It is impossible to imagine Spanish, Arabic, Oriental or Turkish cuisine without chickpeas as the basis for countless specialities. The list of delicious dishes with chickpeas is long. But it is not only the high proteincontent of chickpeas that is advantageous; they also contain numerous minerals and fibre. So it’s no wonder that we at Fairera rely on chickpeas as the basis for a wide variety of products!

Pea protein
The pea has a lot to offer as a basis for meat substitutes. It not only contains a high protein content, but also many other nutrients that are an important part of a balanced diet.
The processed pea proteins have a consistency and fibre structure that can easily compete with meat. And the best thing is: the product contains no chemical additives. The pea protein is separated from the peas using mechanical extraction processes and concentrated. This makes it ideal as a meat substitute. It also has a pleasant flavour with a slight bitter note.

With the help of our natural ingredients and a sophisticated production process, we can offer a wide range of vegan products.
Whether it is meat substitutes such as burgers, bacon or salami or classic vegan protein sources such as falafel – everyone will find what they are looking for here!
