Flattened dried squid

---

Flattened dried squid has become a popular snack for people who want something ready to eat with no extra prep. Open the pack and you can dig straight into that chewy, sweet squid flavor paired with a bold seasoning. At Ola Squid, this line is made from evenly pressed squid, carefully seasoned and dried to the right standard, keeping the natural flavor of the squid intact. This article walks you through what Flattened dried squid actually is, how to pick a good one, and how to store it so it stays fresh longer.

What is Flattened dried squid?

Flattened dried squid is dried squid that's been pressed thin, then seasoned with a blend of sugar, salt, chili, and fish sauce, and dried again before packaging. The biggest difference from whole dried squid comes down to processing. Whole squid keeps its original shape, and needs to be grilled before eating to bring out the aroma. Flattened dried squid, on the other hand, is already seasoned and dried, so it's ready to eat straight out of the pack - a good fit for anyone busy or looking for a quick snack.

How Ola Squid makes Flattened dried squid

Ola Squid's production process is tightly controlled from ingredient selection through to final packaging, so every batch of Flattened dried squid meets both flavor and food safety standards.

• Fresh squid is carefully selected, with size and freshness checked before processing.
• The squid is cleaned and pressed thin so every strand has an even thickness.
• It's seasoned with an in-house recipe, so the flavor soaks evenly into every piece.
• It's dried at the right temperature, with no preservatives added.
• It's sealed tightly to lock in the chewy sweetness and natural aroma of the squid.

The whole process is built around preserving the squid's natural flavor, while keeping seasoning and unnecessary additives to a minimum.

How Flattened dried squid compares to other dried squid products

Ola Squid currently offers three popular lines of dried squid, each suited to a different need. Knowing the difference helps you pick the right product and avoid ending up with something that doesn't match your taste.

Product line	Characteristics	How to eat it
Dried squid	Unseasoned, keeps the squid's whole shape	Needs grilling before eating
Flattened dried squid	Pressed thin, pre-seasoned	Ready to eat, no prep needed
Shredded seasoned squid	Torn into strands, comes in several flavors	Ready to eat, easy to carry

If you enjoy grilling squid yourself and the aroma that comes with it, whole dried squid is the better pick. If convenience matters more and you want something ready to eat right away, Ola Squid's Flattened dried squid or shredded seasoned squid are the more practical choices.

How to choose good Flattened dried squid

To find a good product, look closely at color, texture, and smell before deciding to buy.

• Texture: evenly pressed strands, not crumbly or badly torn.
• Smell: a distinctive grilled-squid aroma with evenly absorbed seasoning and no off odors.
• Chewiness: moderately chewy and tender, not dry and tough, and not damp or sticky to the touch.

These criteria help tell a quality product apart from a lower-grade one, and help you avoid squid that's been artificially colored or improperly preserved.
