Jerome Miet Fine de Claire French Oysters - Marennes-Oléron

These Fine de Claire N3 oysters come from Jerome Miet, a producer in the Marennes-Oléron basin of France. The "Fine de Claire" designation signifies that these oysters undergo a finishing process in traditional shallow clay ponds, known as "claires." This period in the claires, typically for a minimum of one month, allows the oysters to develop a flavour distinct from open-sea varieties, often with a more balanced salinity and subtle nuances. The N3 size indicates an oyster weighing approximately 66 to 85 grams. Jerome Miet's cultivation focuses on this regional tradition.
