Zeeland Jumbo mussels

Zeeland Jumbo Mussels

Zeeland Jumbo mussels are large, generously filled mussels offering an excellent balance between size, meat content and refined flavour. With 45–55 mussels per kilogram, Jumbo mussels are one of the larger grades within the Zeeland mussel range. Their consistent sizing and excellent meat content make them particularly suitable for both professional kitchens and traditional mussel dishes.

Flavour & texture

Rich and refined with a naturally saline, maritime flavour. The mussel meat is tender and succulent with a pleasantly firm and meaty texture.

Culinary applications

Ideal for a classic pot of steamed mussels with white wine, vegetables and fresh herbs. They are equally delicious prepared with beer, cream, garlic or Mediterranean herbs. Jumbo mussels are also excellent for pasta, risotto, paella, fish soups, bouillabaisse and a wide variety of fish and seafood dishes.
