Live Clams "Vongole Veraci" from Italy - 450g

The clam for spaghetti alle vongole, and the one Italians mean when they say verace. Marevivo farm them in Italy and send them live in a sealed tray rather than a net, so nothing leaks into the fridge and the date is printed on the label. They have the shortest life of the three Marevivo shellfish at eight days, so buy them for a meal you have already planned rather than for the week ahead. Open them in a hot pan with garlic, chilli and white wine, keep the liquor they release, and toss the pasta through it while the clams are still warm. 450g is two generous plates.

Manila clams (Ruditapes philippinarum, farmed in Italy).

Molluscs. May contain fish.

These are alive, so keep the tray sealed and in the coldest part of the fridge until you cook them, and do not sit them in water. Rinse under cold running water first. Throw away any shell that is cracked, or that stays open after a sharp tap. Cook them through - a few minutes in a covered pan is enough - and throw away any that have not opened.
