Safe and clean... pure and pristine... New Zealand’s unpolluted
waters...
New Zealand, remote shores of unchallenged beauty and wilderness.
From the pristine waters of this beautiful island nation one of the world’s
most unique delicacies is harvested. New Zealand Greenshell™ mussels.
Found nowhere else in the world these jade shelled beauties have been
cultivated on longlines nestled in the idyllic fiords and remote coastlines
of New Zealand. Nurtured there in the most natural of environments they
provide for you a unique shellfish taste that is a world away from here.
New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels (Perna canaliculus) are
a native New Zealand shellfish. They are easily recognized by their vibrant
green and gold shell coloring. The plump tender meat is creamy white when
the mussel is male and apricot to orange when the mussel is female. Flavor
is not differentiated by color and the flavor of both is superb.
With over 5,000 km of indented coastline, New Zealand has the ideal
environment for the farming of New Zealand Greenshell™ mussels.
The New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussel industry adhere to a strict Environmental
Management System, ensuring that these mussels are not only cultivated
to the highest possible standard of quality and safety
but also result in an ecologically sustainable product. Ask
for it by name.
