Bouchot mussels vacuum packed ±5kg ⚖

The jewel in the crown of French shellfish farming, offering an authentic taste of the sea.
This Bouchot mussel, carefully selected by Atelier Marée de Le Delas, embodies the excellence of France's coastal terroir. Reared on wooden stakes using a traditional method that protects them from sand and predators, they are distinguished by their characteristic small size, their deep orange-yellow flesh and their subtly sweet, briny flavour. Vacuum-sealed packaging ensures optimal freshness and greater convenience for kitchen teams.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Culinary uses: A must-have for making moules marinières, Charente-style mouclades or seafood gratins. Its meaty texture and distinctive flavour also make it a prime ingredient for gourmet paellas, seafood risottos or to enhance a delicate fish soup.
► Preparation: Although already sorted, a quick rinse under clean running water is recommended before cooking. Cook over a high heat quickly, covered, with aromatic herbs and a splash of white wine, until the shells open completely. Avoid prolonged cooking, which may cause the delicate flesh to shrink.
► Storage: Fresh, vacuum-packed product; must be stored in a cold room at between 0°C and +4°C. This packaging method protects the shellfish and preserves its organoleptic qualities until use.
