Season's over 

The Fine de Claire Verte Label Rouge is an official label awarded by the French Ministry of Agriculture and is subject to very strict quality controls. Its green colour, so appreciated by consumers, comes from the presence in the claires of the Navicula bleue - a micro-algae filtered by the oyster, which retains its pigment.

Characteristics

A meat yield between 9 and 10.5%, refined in claire ponds for a minimum of 28 days, with the presence of Navicula bleue - the micro-algae responsible for the green colour.

Aromas

A perfect balance between a subtle sweetness and a pronounced iodine note.

Texture

Smooth and melting, with a beautiful freshness and a velvety sensation that coats the palate.

Visual Appearance

Fine shell with characteristic greenish highlights, resulting from claire refining where the Navicula bleue gives the flesh its singular hue.
