The Tsarskaya is the "Pearl of the Tsars," a powerful and fleshy oyster from France that delivers a perfectly balanced, full-bodied experience. It is the go-to choice for those who appreciate a classic, robust oyster with a satisfying texture.
This is the oyster you choose for a bold and balanced taste of the sea.
Flavour: A classic, powerful balance. It leads with a confident briny and iodine punch, which then softens into a delicate sweetness with a faint hint of almond.
Texture: Notably fleshy and firm throughout, with a satisfying and almost crunchy quality that provides a substantial bite.
How It Compares: More potent and briny than the nutty Ostra Regal. It offers a more traditional and powerful oyster flavour than the creamy, sweet Gillardeau, while having a much firmer, denser meat than a standard Fine de Claire.
Origin: Brittany, France
Size: No. 4 (A substantial cocktail size, approx. 60-80g)
