Our Story

A Different Way of
Thinking About Mussels

Frozen mussels are commonly available in precooked formats. We saw an opportunity to approach Greenshell™ mussels differently.

Instead of starting with how mussels have traditionally been sold, we asked a simple question:

How can we keep more of what makes a New Zealand Greenshell™ mussel special?

That question has shaped the direction of Hero Foods — keeping things simple, respecting the ingredient, and exploring new ways for people to experience Greenshell™ mussels.

Keep It Simple. Keep It Natural.​
