The Speciale de Claire

The Speciale de Claire Oyster is more fleshy, raised in open sea during a minimum of 3 years along the french atlantic coast. This oyster is choosen for its regular shape, its

roundness and its thickness.

The oyster is then finished in our claires, shallow basins with clay with a great light penetration, suitable for the oyster food development

This time in the claires is offering the oysters a well-earned rest after all oceanic dangers and storms. The oysters are reinforcing the flesh and the shell, imparting the subtelties of regional flavours.

On tasting, the Special de Claire is distinct from the Fine de Claire by a firmer texture to the flesh, the volume in the mouth and a remarkable balance of sweetness and salt.
