Finished in natural salt pans
The essence of oysters
The Marennes-Oléron district is the most important refining site for oysters in France, in fact this region has optimal natural conditions for oyster farming. Try the "numero 2" the large version of this famous oyster, a small bite perfect for an aperitif, appreciated by all!
Over the centuries, the producers of this region have been able to raise oyster farming to art using the ancient clay salt pans called "claire" to refine the oysters after a growth process that can take place on the entire French coast. Thanks to this process, the Oyster Fine de Claire (refined in the claire) can boast the European recognition of Protected Geographical Indication - PGI.
The refinement respects a strict specification, for at least 28 days they are immersed in the claire with a density of 3 kg per square meter, this gives the oyster a characteristic nutty taste.
