The Sentinelle Speciale N3 oyster presents a carefully selected product, reflecting characteristics from both French and Irish waters. As a "Speciale," this oyster typically offers a generous meat fill within its N3 sized shell. The dual-origin approach aims to combine the robust growth conditions of one region with the refining traditions of another, or to select prime specimens from both. Expect a balanced flavour profile influenced by the distinct terroirs. The N3 size is well-suited for direct tasting.
