This 2kg box of Fresh Bouchot Mussels (Mytilus edulis) is sourced from the tidal waters of Mont Saint-Michel Bay, France. Carrying the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) label, these mussels are cultivated by St Michel using traditional bouchot methods and are distributed under the oversight of GDP (Groupement de Défense et de Promotion).

Detailed Information
Bouchot mussels are grown on vertical wooden poles placed in the bay’s intertidal zone. This method produces mussels that are naturally clean, with minimal sand and high meat content. These mussels offer a balanced marine flavor, a firm bite, and a distinctive orange to cream-colored flesh. The PDO certification ensures traceability, quality, and regional authenticity.

Who is St Michel?
St Michel is a French shellfish producer dedicated to maintaining the heritage and quality of PDO mussels from Mont Saint-Michel. Known for their adherence to traditional practices, St Michel ensures that each mussel reflects the natural richness of the bay.
