Our Oysters selection

The concave oysters spend their first 36 months in deep-sea fish farms until they grow and strengthen their mother of pearl. Later they are positioned along the coast or in special lagoons where they enrich their internal “carnosity” that has to reach the value of 6.5% , which is considered an indicator of quality. This value can go beyond 12%, and determinates their rating as “Fine”, ”, “Special”, “Super Special”.

These are sterile oysters, they are never milky, thus excellent in every month of the year, not only in the months that have an “R” in their names.

Their specific denomination depends on the region and the oyster farm where they were bred.

Fine

Among the three, this type has less structured fat, carnosity index between 6.5 and 10.5%, and have a strong iodine taste.

They are left to fatten on fish farms for two months and are called “Fine de Claire” if they come from the French region “Poitou-charentes”.
