Zeeland mussels are famous for their superior quality and taste. They owe this reputation to the nutritious waters of the Oosterschelde and the Wadden area, where clear seawater provides an optimal living environment. The mussels feed on natural plankton, resulting in a salty, creamy flavor profile. The strict sustainability standards and seasonal catch make these mussels not only a delicious but also a responsible choice.
