Our Story

From the pristine waters of Varapuzha to your plate, we bring you the authentic taste of tradition, preserved with love and crafted without compromise.

Rooted in Tradition

Our journey began with a simple promise: to preserve the authentic flavors of Varapuzha while honoring the time-tested traditions of our fishing community. For generations, families in Varapuzha have perfected the art of catching and preserving fish, passing down recipes and techniques that have stood the test of time.

We are more than just a pickle factory. We are custodians of culinary heritage, protectors of traditional fishing practices, and partners to the hardworking fishing families who brave the waters every day to bring you the freshest catch.

Every jar we create tells a story of dedication, authenticity, and an unwavering commitment to quality that never takes shortcuts.

Fresh from Varapuzha Waters

Varapuzha, located at the confluence of the Arabian Sea and Kerala's backwaters, is renowned for its rich marine biodiversity. The unique brackish water ecosystem creates the perfect environment for fish that are firm in texture and rich in flavor.

We work directly with local fishing families who use sustainable, traditional fishing methods that have been refined over centuries. These time-honored practices ensure that every fish we source is caught at the peak of freshness, maintaining the delicate balance of our marine ecosystem.

From the moment the nets are pulled in at dawn to the time the fish reaches our facility, we maintain the cold chain to preserve its natural taste, texture, and nutritional value.

Our Core Values
