Name: Glidden Point
Origin: Damariscotta River, Maine, USA
Size: 3.5''+ Medium
Flavour: These oysters have a crisp salty and a distinctly rich, buttery flavour.
Farming method: Bottom culture
Farmer : Raised by Ryan McPherson, Glidden Points have been legendary for 25 years. They are bottom planted in the cold Damariscotta River and slow-grown, not harvested until 4 years of age, leading to a large, firm, strong-shelled oyster. They are one of the only oysters in the world hand-harvested by divers. One of the priciest oysters in the country, and one of the most prized.
Service ideas : Glidden's Point need to be appreciate by themselves with a nice white Chardonnay or Sauvignon. Sometimes the mignonette or splash of lemon will kick the flavours.
