Mussels, Bouchot from Mont Saint-Michel

Bouchot Mussels from Mont Saint-Michel are the only mussels awarded the prestigious PDO label. They are grown using traditional methods on wooden stakes called “bouchots,” which keep them off the seabed and protect them from sand and parasites.

Raised in the unique environment of Mont Saint-Michel, famous for having the highest tides in continental Europe, these mussels develop a distinctive character. Their flesh is delicately iodized, with a subtle hazelnut flavour and a hint of sweetness. The texture is creamy and silky, never floury.

Basic Cooking Instructions:

1. Wash and sort the mussels, discarding any that are already open.
2. Place the cleaned mussels in a pan.
3. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 9 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
4. Serve immediately to enjoy their fresh and delicate flavour.
