These fresh cockles, selected for their uniform size and characteristic briny flavour, are presented here in a technical packaging format using modified atmosphere (gas-flushed) technology. This process preserves the vitality and organoleptic qualities of the shellfish whilst offering improved shelf life compared to conventional packaging. Delas has chosen this 500g pack size to meet chefs' need for speed, guaranteeing a clean, sorted product ready to be transformed into a delicious dish in just a few minutes.
Culinary uses, preparation and storage:
Cockles are a staple of seafood menus, prized for their delicate flesh and fragrant juices:
► ‘Marinière' style cooking: Sear them over a high heat, covered, with a splash of white wine, finely chopped shallots and flat-leaf parsley. They open in a few minutes, releasing a delicious natural seawater broth.
► Accompaniment for pasta and risottos: Ideal for making the classic linguine alle vongole or to add a touch of the sea and visual appeal to a seafood risotto.
► Hot starters: Incorporate them into a seafood marinière, a fish velouté, or simply serve them seared with a touch of lemon butter.
► Preparation: Although packed in a gas atmosphere, a quick rinse under clean water is recommended before cooking to remove any residual sand.
► Storage: A fresh product that must be stored between 0°C and +4°C. Observe the use-by date and consume immediately after opening to ensure optimal freshness.
