Salt Works Fine de Claire N°3

Fine de Claire N°3 from the Marennes-Oléron basin on France's Atlantic coast — the most celebrated oyster-refining region in the world. After growing at sea, these oysters are finished for a minimum of 28 days in the claires (former salt-marsh basins), where they develop the delicate green tint and distinctive goût de terroir that define a true Marennes-Oléron oyster.

The Fine de Claire is the connoisseur's everyday oyster: lighter and less fleshy, water-rich, and beautifully balanced. Clean sea salinity is rounded out by that refined mineral note from the claires, with a soft texture and an elegant, fresh finish.
