Its texture and flavor combine very well with many sauces

Among the family of mollusks, they are one of the most consumed thanks to their texture and flavor that combines very well with many sauces and recipes of the Mediterranean diet: with tomato, with garlic, in marinara sauce…

But undoubtedly, one of the most common ways to taste them is preserved in marinade. A simple and very soft flavor that takes us back to the depths of the estuaries.
