The suspended culture mussels from the Zeeland waters are the first mussels of the new season. After the spawning period, the mussel begins a new cycle. Because the mussels hang just below the water surface, they receive plenty of nutrients and sunlight and grow quickly. As a result, the shell is somewhat thinner and more fragile than bottom culture mussels. The nutrient-rich water also gives these suspended culture mussels their fantastic flavor, with a shell full of meat and a creamy, rich taste. A very high-quality product, perfectly in season and also locally farmed and processed in Zeeland.
