Spent several weeks refining in claires - the clay-bottomed basins of the Marennes-Oléron region - these oysters develop a cleaner, more delicate shell than anything raised purely at sea.

Characteristics

A meat yield between 6 - 10.5%, refined in claire ponds for a minimum of 28 days - a lightly fleshed, tender, and fluid oyster.

Aromas

Refreshing flavours with a hint of iodine, a balanced sweetness, and a light finish. Perfect for a pure and natural tasting experience.

Texture

Tender and fluid, lightly fleshed, it delivers a gentle, thirst-quenching sensation in the mouth.

Visual Appearance

Fine and elongated shell, lightly fleshed, with a pearlescent robe and subtle highlights.

Storage

  • Refrigerate oysters promptly at 4°C or below
  • Keep them on the lowest shelf under a damp cloth
  • Keep the oysters cup-side down so they retain their natural liquor
  • Before serving, discard any oyster with a shell that remains open when tapped

Serving recommendations

Serve oysters freshly shucked with lemon or a simple mignonette. Keep the garnishes light so the differences in salinity, texture, and finish stay easy to notice.
