(*) The Vongola verace belongs to the large family of clams (Veneridae). It is found throughout the Mediterranean Sea and on the European Atlantic coast as far as the south coast of England and can reach a diameter of up to eight centimeters, but is usually sold only half that size. The skin is colored from white to yellow to gray-brown. Their meat is considered very tasty and tender. It is therefore eaten raw by shellfish fishermen like the meat of oysters. Like all shellfish, mussels spoil easily. However, only very fresh vongole may be used in mussel dishes. Really fresh mussels have tightly closed shells and always smell of fresh mussels.
