Canned Mussels
Canned Mussels are exquisite. They offer you an inexpensive and quick way to get protein and go well with many flavors.
They can be served as appetizers, added to pasta as toppings, as a topper in salads and added to seafood soups and stir-fry with rice and noodles.
They are loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, selenium, iron, and manganese. Low in calories, high in protein and low in saturated fats.
Vima Canned Mussels are from the Galician estuaries in northern Spain. They are grown on punts, huge wooden platforms, where they attach themselves on ropes deep in Galicia’s pristine waters. When they reach their optimum size, they are selected and prepared with a light marinade recipe based on sunflower oil, vinegar, salt, and spices that enhance this bivalve mollusk’s flavor.
Mussels are a very versatile food. They can be used in salads, pasta dishes, snack on crackers, or part of the main course.

Mussels in pickled sauce
Vima Selección pickled mussels are made with mussels from the Galician Rías and packaged and sold under a certificate of Denomination of Origin, which ensures their traceability.
Only the Galician mussel brand certifies that the mussels are harvested, processed, and made in Galicia; the authentic mussel from the Galician Rías.
The Galician mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) feeds by filtration, taking advantage of the phytoplankton found in seawater of Galician Rías, considered by FAO as one of the most important fishing areas on the planet.
The starting point for the elaboration of a top-quality pickled mussel begins with a careful selection at its optimal moment and once the mussel reaches its largest size.
The mussels are cleaned manually, fried in olive oil, and packed in a soft red pickle, an ideal cover for this mollusk. Through this method, mussels with a firm and tender texture are obtained, which provides a good dose of energy and guarantees a gastronomic experience like none other.
The varied source of nutrients found in the Rías Gallegas characterizes the nutritional properties of its mussels.
