The Benefits of the Sea
Clear horizons, wet sand, surf on the rocks... The sea is the ideal environment to disconnect, recharge your batteries and fill your eyes with nature and beauty. It's also a universal and age-old source of nourishment whose iodine treasures offer a multitude of health benefits: omega-3, magnesium, calcium, sea minerals, vitamin D... nutrients for living well, and growing well !
So, this sunny spring, la belle-iloise celebrates the sea by inviting you to the source of its benefits. Savour our flagship fish in their purest and simplest expression, like vintage sardines, and be introduced to the goodness of Brittany's seaweed...
The work of time
The brand new La Réserve box invites you to discover or rediscover our 2020 vintage sardines in an elegant, sleek gold-plated box made in Brittany.
Fished off the coast of Brittany between Saint-Guénolé, in Finistère, and La Turballe, in the Loire Atlantique region, when the season is at its peak and the sardines are at their plumpest and tastiest, they have been identified as "exceptional" from the moment they return from fishing.
Selected for their absolute quality, they have been prepared with the utmost care and stored since 2020 to allow time to do its work... Dressed in a fruity extra virgin olive oil specially chosen to enhance them, they are candied to perfection and, with their melt-in-the-mouth texture and fine flavour, offer a great tasting experience.
Rich in complete proteins and good fats - omega-3 (EPA and DHA), as well as calcium, vitamin B12 and vitamin D, sardines in oil offer exceptional nutritional value. Eating 100g of tinned sardines, for example, is enough to cover 5 to 6 times the daily requirement of omega-3s, and twice the requirement of vitamin D! Sardines also provide phosphorus, potassium, zinc and selenium.
Our Saint-Georges and our Sardines in Olive Oil and Lemon also come in the classic version, and discover our Sardines in Sunflower Oil and Peanut Oil, light oils with a neutral taste that reveal the authentic flavours of sardines!
The goodness of seaweed
Naturally rich in minerals, trace elements and vitamins, and a source of fibre and protein, seaweed is considered to be one of the most promising foods of the 21st century. These 'super vegetables of the sea' offer significant health benefits thanks to their antioxidant power and their neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects.
Iron, calcium, magnesium, iodine, potassium, vitamins A, B, C, E, K... their components contribute to cell renewal and the proper functioning of the brain, heart and immune system, while strengthening muscles, bones and teeth.
The recommended daily intake is 20 to 30g per person, so use seaweed as a garnish or condiment, along with other ingredients. At la belle-iloise all our seaweed is Breton and organic, harvested in season in Finistère at the rhythm of the tides by our local producers.
With our products studded with organic seaweed from Brittany, introduce yourself to the taste and benefits of seaweed : whether it's our Sauces and Condiments Assortment including Mayoz'algues, Seaweed Tartar, Seaweed Hummus, and Kiwifruit, Apple and Seaweed Confit, our Arvorig Soup or our Mackerel Rillettes with Lemon & Brittany seaweed, discover recipes that combine deliciousness and lightness!
An exceptional tuna
Nicknamed "the steak of the sea", tuna is the richest fish in protein, with an average of 28g of protein per 100g, compared with an average of 20 to 25g for meat. It is also an excellent source of omega-3, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 and D... nutrients that contribute to the body's essential functions.
At la belle-iloise, we only work with white albacore tuna, one of the smallest species of tuna, less threatened than the others, and the most suitable for canning. Always fished without FADs (Fish Aggregating Devices), at maturity, and outside the reproduction periods, our tuna stands out for its exceptional taste and the preserved quality of its flesh: tasty, melting, and very delicate.
Discover our incomparable Tuna au naturel or in olive oil, and enjoy our Tuna Rillettes with Green Pepper and our White Tuna Mousse with Basil, light spreads for a subtly iodised aperitif!
