These Bouchot Mussels (Mytilus edulis) by Gourmet de Paris are cultivated along the coasts of Brittany, France. Packaged in a 1.4kg punnet, they are sold whole and live, intended for immediate culinary use.

Detailed Information
Bouchot mussels are reared on vertical wooden stakes in intertidal zones, a traditional technique that ensures minimal sand content and high meat quality. Noted for their uniform size and clean shells, they deliver a tender, juicy texture with a sweet, distinctly marine flavor. Their flesh ranges from pale yellow to deep orange, depending on the season and maturity.
