What makes this product special?

Escabeche is an old Iberian Peninsula marinating method where wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and bay leaves combine to create a rich, fresh, and aromatic sauce. José Gourmet mussels are first seared in olive oil — this gives them a delicate texture and a subtle seared mussel flavor — then carefully placed by hand into the tin with the escabeche marinade. The result: a creamy, tender texture with a fresh, tangy sauce.

The mussels are cultivated in the coastal waters of the Iberian Peninsula using traditional aquaculture practices. This is one of the most nutritious seafood products — naturally rich in vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, selenium, and protein.
