The quality of the deltaic water makes these molluscs have an exquisite flavour
The autochthonous mussel of the Delta Ebre is of the Mytilus galloprovincialis species, of which its nutritional composition stands out as the great contribution of proteins and richness in iron. The mussel reaches its optimal size around June or July.
In the beginning they were collected on the rocks, but currently they are raised in artificial feedlots on the Delta coast, specifically in the bays of the Delta Ebre, the Fangar bay and the Alfacs bay.
Currently, in the Delta Ebre there are forty companies that are dedicated to the commercialization of mussels, together they produce approximately 4 million kilos a year and that vary according to the contributions of the river cabal.
