The mussel that we pack belongs to the species Mytilus galloprovincialis, a bivalve mollusk with a smooth shell and blue-black color, very rich in proteins and minerals. It lives fixed to the rocks in the intertidal zone and grows rapidly, reaching its normal development within a year.<\/p>\n

It has been cultivated on the Atlantic cost of the Iberian Pen\u00ednsula for years, as an alternative livelihood for people in coastal towns in order to prevent overfishing from the extractive fishing. Mussel farming is done on ropes, using as breeds the ones that come naturally in the rocks of the coast. The temperature and nutrients from this water make an ideal environment for the mussels to reach optimal conditions in size and flavor.<\/p>\n

To certify the mussel as organic production, the whole process of breeding and fattening is regulated by CRAEGA, which sets a strict protocol according to the European Regulation 834\/2007, which has to be verified in order to get the certificate attesting the origin of the product and its compliance with the respective protocols.<\/p>\n
