Sea Urchins (Paracentrotus lividus) – Treasure of the Atlantic
Sea urchins are one of the most exclusive and highly valued delicacies in European haute cuisine. Their interior, known as “coral” or gonads, offers an intense, iodized, and slightly sweet flavor that reflects the purity of the Atlantic Ocean.
Origin and Habitat
Rocky coasts and seaweed meadows of Galicia (Spain) and Brittany (France), generally found between 2 and 15 meters deep.
Lifespan
Up to 8 years, growing slowly and developing a unique flavor each season.
Diet
They feed on algae and phytoplankton, which gives them their distinctive ocean flavor.
Harvesting Method
Collected by hand by divers, allowing the selection of mature specimens while respecting the ecosystem and avoiding damage to seaweed meadows.
Season
Autumn and winter, when their flavor and texture reach the highest level of quality.
Sea urchins are a luxury gourmet product, ideal for sashimi, tapas, seafood sauces, or refined dishes.
Each one is delivered live or fresh, preserving all its natural flavor and texture.
🌍 Premium Export to Europe
