La Truitelle Mountain Troutlings in EVOO
About This Tin
La Truitelle's Mountain Troutlings in EVOO showcases the pure expression of rainbow trout raised in the pristine alpine environment of the Cathar Pyrenees. Each tin contains two to four whole troutlings whose delicate flesh and subtle flavor profile are perfectly preserved through a careful steaming process before being bathed in premium extra virgin olive oil. The result is a remarkably clean-tasting tinned fish that captures the essence of mountain freshwater streams.
This exceptional product represents the culmination of François Isambert's vision that began in 2008 at the historic Pisciculture de La Fajolle, situated 1,150 meters above sea level in the Haute-vallée de l'Aude. After years of perfecting organic aquaculture techniques and preservation methods, these troutlings emerged as France's first AB-certified organic tin of fish. The controlled appertization process—where each fish is carefully steamed and hand-canned without freezing—preserves their wild-like texture while allowing their refined, subtle flavor to shine through the high-quality olive oil medium.
What Makes It Special
- Pristine Origin: Raised in crystal-clear mountain springs and streams at 1,150 meters altitude, developing exceptional texture and purity that closely resembles wild-caught trout.
- Minimalist Preparation: The purest expression in La Truitelle's lineup, featuring only steam-cooked troutlings and extra virgin olive oil to showcase their natural, refined flavor.
- Sustainable Alternative: Organic-certified for over a decade, these troutlings require significantly less fish meal than larger aquaculture species, offering an environmentally responsible option to overfished sea varieties.
Perfect Pairings
- Alpine Niçoise Salad: Replace traditional tuna with these delicate troutlings in a composed salad with haricots verts, new potatoes, olives, and soft-boiled eggs dressed with the tin's olive oil.
- Rustic Mountain Toast: Serve atop grilled country bread rubbed with garlic and topped with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and fresh herbs to appreciate their subtle flavor profile.
- French Picnic Board: Arrange whole troutlings alongside cornichons, herbed goat cheese, sliced radishes, and crusty baguette for an elevated outdoor dining experience.
