Description

Gullo octopus is caught outside the coast of Spain in the Atlantic Ocean, and in the Mediterranean Sea

Our secret is tenderization. Using sea salt, cold water and a tumbler, this natural process is void of any chemicals or additives. Tenderization breaks down the octopus’ muscles causing the octopus to “flower.” Flower octopus is when the tentacles curl up in a flower shape. Gullo tenderized octopus offers a 70 – 90% yield, depending on the size. In comparison, non-tenderized tray octopus only provides a 50% yield rate.

Gullo’s products are delivered Fresh-Frozen. We are consistent, dependable, reliable and every single one of our products is backed by our personal guarantee of excellent.

The octopus can be eaten raw/crudo, grilled, cooked on a plancha or sautéed .

All Octopus is not created equal, as they are wild. Some may pick more salt than others during our tenderization process. Cook time can vary from 5-10 minutes based on this variability. We suggest these cooking methods based on our extensive testing.
