Our product selection
Benefiting from an extensive experience in rope-grown mussels in the Mediterranean, Florent Tarbouriech travelled abroad to meet producers using similar techniques in Spain, Italy and Greece.
Today, with the help of stringent selection of the best products in season, Médithau is still the specialist for rope-grown mussels in Southern Europe. This expertise is the fruit of frequent visits to production sites to get closer to producers and monitor product quality.
Other shellfish are extremely carefully chosen from referenced producers. Respect for applicable legal standards, freshness and supply capacity are all key elements in Médithau’s partnership.
Moreover, Médithau aims at working with responsible partners who protect environment, as part of our commitment to sustainable development. Médithau’s partnership agreements now include a commitment by suppliers to minimise their environmental impact, particularly by recycling waste and taking special care of their production sites.

With a total volume of 1350m3 , the pools allow storage of shellfish in optimum biomass conditions. _To ensure impeccable bacteriological quality, Médithau lead purification of shellfish for the appropriate period.
