Salt Works Super Spéciale de Claire N°4 Oyster

Salt Works Super Spéciale de Claire N°4 Oyster

For those who prefer a fuller, more deeply flavoured French oyster, Salt Works Super Spéciale de Claire N°4 comes from the Marennes-Oléron basin on France’s Atlantic coast and represents the top tier of the Salt Works Claire range. The oysters are hand-selected for their round shape and deep cup, then given the longest finishing period in the claires.

What to Expect

Exceptionally fleshy, dense and substantial, with real weight on the palate. Rich, rounded sweetness balanced by ocean salinity and a long, layered mineral finish; the extended affinage develops a deeper goût de terroir while reinforcing the shell.

Origin & Product Details

• Origin: Marennes-Oléron, France.
• Grade: N°4 Super Spéciale.
• Refined: longest claire finish in the Salt Works range.
• Box size: 12 or 24 pcs, shucked or unshucked.
• Product type: Live oysters.

Serving Ideas

Best enjoyed raw on the half shell, well chilled and kept simple: a small squeeze of lemon lifts the natural sweetness without masking its depth. Pair with a mature grower Champagne or a fuller white Burgundy; Chablis or Muscadet also work beautifully.

Storage & Handling

Keep chilled at 0–4°C, flat side up, covered with a damp cloth. Avoid fresh water and do not freeze. Eat shucked oysters on ice, promptly.
