MyAlgae
MyAlgae is a small Italian producer growing spirulina in closed tubular photobioreactors in the Po Valley. Their approach prioritises purity over scale — the closed system means no exposure to outdoor air, birds, or agricultural runoff. They sell both B2C powder and B2B ingredients, and have carved a niche among Italian and European buyers who want traceable, fully transparent European provenance.
Strengths
- ✓Closed tubular photobioreactor — highest contamination control available in spirulina production
- ✓Transparent about every production step; full traceability back to individual cultivation batches
- ✓Unusually detailed public documentation of phycocyanin, protein, and heavy metal testing
- ✓Growing domestic Italian retail presence alongside export
Weaknesses
- –Small scale means limited availability and slightly higher price per gram
- –Primarily sold in Italian and broader EU markets; harder to source elsewhere
Our verdict
One of the best-documented small producers in Europe. The closed-system differentiation is genuine, not marketing — ask for their CoA and compare contaminant levels to open-pond producers. Recommended for European buyers who want the highest available contamination assurance.
