WHO
WE
ARE
Kansom Australia is collaboration of minds determined to achieve the best possible dining experience. We pioneer for excellence and innovation, presenting for you only the highest quality luxury seafoods.
We are located on the edge of the Great Southern Ocean. This gives us access to one of the last remaining healthy, wild resources of Abalone. Abalone is not only a delicacy with the highest prestige throughout Asia, but also has a history with Australian Aborigines who for thousands of years enjoyed this shellfish. Our purpose is to bring rare items such as Abalone, which are rich in tradition, culture and health into the 21st Century by giving you the consumer the opportunity to share in the experience of this delicacy. For Kansom, it is important that you have the genuine experience with minimal processing aids or chemicals – pure is the best.
Great food is our joy and our passion.
- Kansom 1985
Established in 1985, we are driven by innovation and passion. We choose to define the Abalone industry rather than be defined by blending science and technology to produce unique and premium Abalone products. Our products are prepared ready to eat, enabling them to be convenient, natural and above all else delicious, prefect for any culinary skill level. Kansom has long since established reputation as “The Innovator”, with the world’s first commercial “real” Abalone Sauce as one of our many successfully global innovations.
Kansom demands only the very best, but don’t take our word for it. Try it for yourself, and soon you too will be demanding only the very best – Kansom.
