Gambero Rosso di Mazara del Vallo - 2.2lb Tray

 

The Red Shrimp of Mazara del Vallo is an extraordinary crustacean, recognized for its laterally compressed body and well-developed abdomen. Their vibrant coloration ranges from deep blood red to wine red, accented with violet reflections on the carapace. The occasional darkening of the shrimp's head is a natural oxidative process known as melanosis, caused by polyphenol oxidase enzymes. It does not impact the product's quality, and only heavy sulfite use can prevent this harmless visual effect.

With a pronounced sweetness and buttery texture, the Red Shrimp offers an unforgettable taste. The head holds the essence of the sea, delivering a unique and inimitable flavor beloved by top chefs worldwide. Caught in the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean, these shrimps owe their superior taste to sandy seabeds, warm water temperatures, and heightened salinity.

Please note: it is advised to consume this product upon arrival.
