WHO WE ARE

Our team is widely recognised for its great expertise and knowledge of sourcing, selecting and processing fish oils.

OLVEA Fish Oils is a subsidiary of the family-owned OLVEA Group founded in 1929 and located near the picturesque Harbour of Fécamp in Normandy.

The Group has been commercialising fish and cod liver oils since 1929. Over the past ten years, the company gradually stood out on the Omega 3 fish oils market by building a factory in Morocco, OLVEA Atlantic, which includes storage, refining, winterisation and deodorisation units.



OLVEA Fish Oils is proud to be a GOED (Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3) and IFFO (The International Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organisation) member.

    Sustainability: We are committed to sourcing our fish oils from fishing areas where fish stocks have been monitored and assessed by both the FAO and local research institutes as not being at risk of collapse.

  • Our mission

    OLVEA Fish Oils has located its operations in Africa, specifically in those countries where fish are harvested and processed into Omega 3 fish oils.

    We are engaged in furthering sustainable development not only by respecting local resources, but also by adding real social and economic values to local communities.

    We are committed to investing in solutions to empower the local people.

This sustainable procurement policy concretizes the formal commitment of the OLVEA and its directors, to sourcing 90% of fish oils from responsible sources by 2022.
