A story
of effort
This is a story that begins on the field. It was where we learned that working with nature and living things requires dedication, patience, and, above all, respect.
There is no secret to our company's success: everything we have achieved is the result of the constancy, determination, and commitment of each member of Caleta Bay.
We have professionalized our approach to work without losing our essence, built by people who, with humility and effort, have made a dream grow.
For over 30 years, we have been committed to doing things right, delivering products that are always good for you.

A new link in the chain
Tokio Japan
The high quality of our products meant that the Caleta Bay chain kept adding links, but here we reached a milestone since we set sail for Japanese lands, established a new office, and began to understand this market better. We also made an important point with our strategic alliances with retailers and presented the product to our clients under our own brand.
New center for research and reproduction
Strengthening the chain requires being constantly innovative and improving to stand up to the challenge of delivering a premium product.
