{"product_id":"la-curiosa-mussels-garlic-chili","title":"12\/16 Mussels in Olive Oil w\/ Garlic \u0026 Chili","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Tin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGalicia produces more rope-grown mussels than anywhere else in the world, and\nMytilus galloprovincialis — the Atlantic blue mussel raised on the rías' famous\nfloating batea platforms — is the reason. These La Curiosa Mussels with Garlic \u0026amp; Chili\nbring that tradition into a tin built for the table: plump, full-flavored mussels in\nolive oil seasoned with garlic and chili. The 12-16 piece count tells you something\nabout sizing — fewer mussels per tin means each one is on the larger end, with more\nbody and flavor per bite. Hand packed at La Curiosa's Nigrán facility, these are a\nnatural companion to bread, cold wine, or anything else you feel like putting them\non.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bateas of Galicia's Arousa Estuary are one of the great aquaculture systems in\nthe world — suspended rope lines where mussels grow clean, sand-free, and nutrient-\ndense in some of the most productive coastal water in Europe. La Curiosa works with\nfactories near the estuary to ensure the mussels go from water to tin with minimal\ntime between. These are new to the US market, and FishNook is currently the only place\nto find them stateside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Sizing\u003c\/strong\u003e: The 12\/16 piece count means larger mussels — more\nvolume per tin, with a meatier texture that holds up to the garlic and chili oil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBatea-Grown\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raised on rope lines suspended from floating\nplatforms in the Galician rías — the production method that makes Galician mussels\nfamously clean, tender, and consistent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUS Exclusive\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brand new to the American market.
