La Truitelle - Small Mountain Trout in Olive Oil with Lemon
Each tin contains 2-4 whole young rainbow trout from the high Pyrenees' pristine streams. Raised using sustainable organic methods at 1,150 metres altitude, these fish represent a genuinely sustainable alternative to traditional tinned seafood. Their farming requires half the resources of conventional aquaculture while delivering a delicate, creamy texture with clean fresh flavour.
The organic olive oil carries gentle lemon notes throughout, enhancing the trout's natural sweetness. Both ingredients share AB (Agriculture Biologique) certification, creating a fully organic product with minimal environmental impact.
Serve these with a classic French potato salad dressed in the flavourful oil from the tin, or arrange on toasted sourdough rubbed with garlic. They pair brilliantly with a crisp white wine and make an impressive starter requiring minimal effort.
This thoughtfully produced preserve demonstrates how ecological practices and excellent flavour can work in perfect harmony—a glimpse of tinned seafood's future available today.
Ingredients: Rainbow Trout* (Oncorhynchus mykiss) 70%, extra virgin olive oil* 27% lemon* 2% & salt 1%

A potential future of sustainable tinned fish exists today in the high Cathar Pyrenees at 1,150 metres altitude. La Truitelle produces the first AB (Agriculture Biologique)-certified organic tinned small mountain trout in oil from François Isambert's La Fajolle freshwater fish farm—certified organic since 2001.
Their Ecological Range offers rainbow trout raised in pristine Pyrenean waters with full FR BIO 01 European Union organic certification. These young fish develop exceptional flavour while requiring minimal resources—consuming half the feed of standard trout. The feed itself is Ecocert AB-certified and utilises sustainable aquaculture by-products in a circular approach to fish farming.
La Truitelle is working toward a "Zero Impact" goal through partnerships with producers of insect meal from recycled green waste. Since launching in spring 2019, these preserves have earned numerous awards for both taste and ecological commitment.
Each tin delivers the clean flavour of mountain-raised trout alongside thoughtfully paired ingredients, with 100% recyclable packaging using plant-based adhesives. A forward-thinking approach to fish preservation that combines excellent taste with impeccable organic credentials.
