BAVABI HALF-SHELL FROZEN OYSTERS

Product Name: Bavabi Half-Shell Frozen Oysters
Product Type: Fresh Seafood
Product Description: Bavabi oysters are frozen using the IQF method to ensure longer preservation times while maintaining nearly the original quality of the product. This guarantees that the product is completely frozen, retaining moisture, flavor, and original texture. Therefore, the oysters reach the consumer almost maintaining 100% of their freshness, color, and richness.

When it comes to oysters, one must think of Vân Đồn – Quảng Ninh. This place is considered the “capital of oysters,” home to Bavabi, the largest deep-processing oyster factory in the country. Recently, in addition to products such as packaged oyster guts, oyster floss, oyster spring rolls, oyster patties, and dried oysters, Bavabi has been launching a line of half-shell oysters (shucked oysters) using IQF freezing technology.

The goal of keeping oysters fresh until they reach the consumer is what all businesses desire. Bavabi is currently the first company in Vietnam to apply IQF freezing technology for oysters.

Bavabi Oysters Meet Export Standards

Bavabi oysters are farmed in a planned sea area of over 4000 hectares in Vân Đồn – Quảng Ninh. The breed is strictly controlled, and the farming environment is regularly monitored. This ensures the marine environment is always clean and unpolluted. The oysters are farmed in an ideal environment and conditions.

The standard size of oysters is 10 – 12 oysters per kilogram. After harvesting, they are quickly transported to the Bavabi processing factory. The factory is conveniently located in Đông Xá, Vân Đồn, Quảng Ninh, very close to the farming area.

Processing Oysters at Bavabi Factory

After quality inspection, the oysters are placed into a rotary washing system.
The oysters are washed with filtered and sterilized sea water.
Those that are damaged or small in size continue to be removed by the rotary system. All dirt and microorganisms on the oysters are completely washed away.
After being thoroughly washed, the oysters are moved to the processing room. The oyster shucking room always maintains a standard temperature below 20℃. Workers shucking the oysters always wear gloves and protective clothing throughout the process.
After being shucked into half-shells, the oysters are quickly transported to the freezing room. Here, they are frozen using the most modern IQF technology.

Bavabi Half-Shell Oysters Employ IQF Freezing Technology

The IQF freezing is a method that quickly freezes individual items using conveyor belts that can adjust speeds. This technology uses forced convective air at high speeds. The temperature drops to -60℃ within a very short time.

With these ideal conditions, the oysters maintain their original freshness. Within less than 30 minutes, the core temperature of the oyster gut reaches -18℃.

When oysters are frozen using IQF, the product’s preservation time is extended. Meanwhile, the quality of the product is almost entirely maintained as it was originally. This ensures that the product is fully frozen, maintaining its moisture, flavor, and original texture. Therefore, the oysters nearly retain almost 100% of their freshness, color, and richness when they reach the consumer.
