Sea Truffles
Sea truffles are among the most popular molluscs, for their delicate flavour and tasty flesh. They are usually eaten raw, with a bit of lemon, like oysters. They look and taste a bit like clams, which they are different from because their shell has a rough texture (while clams have a smooth shell) and their taste stronger and more persistent. Sauté in the pan, over high heat, sea truffles can make a unique appetizer, or they can simply be used to make seafood sauces, depending on the chef’s inspiration.
Oysters
Oysters are certainly one of the most famous and renowned types of seafood for gourmets all over the world. A synonym for refinement and a classic symbol of richness and prestige, oysters are considered a must for lovers of sea flavours and especially of raw seafood. In fact, to fully appreciate their delicate smell and taste, pleasant and salty, they are commonly eaten uncooked, sometimes with a drop of lemon juice and accompanied by the best white wines.
Nieddittas offers oysters from the EU (Netherlands and France). They are chosen, monitored and labelled by Nieddittas and delivered all over Sardinia after passing inspections and verifications according to our quality control procedures, to guarantee the final consumer freshness and the utmost food safety guarantees. Nieddittas oysters are available all year round.
Clams
As for local clams and heart clams, clams boast a delicate taste and are perfect for the preparation of many different dishes. Excellent in sauces for pasta or rice, but to prepare delicious appetizers and main courses as well, they are also the ideal ingredients for creative recipes with an unmistakable flavour of the sea.
