What are Organic Marinated Mussels?
These are Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis), originating from organic aquaculture in the waters of the northeastern Atlantic, specifically in the FAO 27.IX.a region. After being caught, they are sterilized and marinated in extra virgin olive oil with apple cider vinegar and organic vegetables, giving them a unique, slightly spicy taste and preserving their natural texture.
