Next arrival March 12th for St Patrick weekend
The uniqueness of this oyster lies in the fact that it is grown in Ireland exclusively in ecologically clean conditions of the Atlantic Ocean. After that, before selling, they are refined for more than 2 months in fresh Marenne-Oleron clays in France, to reduce salinity.
The combination of Irish water and oyster pools at Marennes-Oléron give the Tia Maraa an exceptional flavour. The Tia Maraa can be identified through its crispiness with a light creamy aftertaste. In addition to the incredible flavours and meatiness, a lot of water is released when it is opened, which means they keep fresh for longer.
