Bouchot Mussels from Mont Saint-Michel are a prized variety of blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), grown on wooden poles using traditional aquaculture methods. Packaged in 2kg net bags under the Gourmet de Paris brand, these mussels are certified PDO, guaranteeing their origin and production standards.

Detailed Information

Farmed on bouchots — vertical wooden poles set in the tidal waters of Mont Saint-Michel Bay — these mussels benefit from a natural environment with a strong tidal influence and nutrient-rich currents. This unique cultivation results in clean shells and high-yield flesh that is firm, sweet, and slightly briny. Their small, oval shells house vibrant orange meat, offering a balanced, delicate flavor ideal for a variety of seafood dishes.
