The second seafood product to be given the Red Label by the French Ministry of Agriculture in 1989. It is unique to Marennes-Oléron and is the oyster farmer’s pride and joy, the top of the range.
What makes this oyster exceptional is its high proportion of flesh and its crisp firmness. Its shape is homogenous, its “coat” ivory and its gills either green or white. It has a very long taste of the “terroir” in the mouth. Its predominant sweetness and marsh aroma make it a classic example of the Marennes-Oléron range. It’s the oyster for a special occasion!
How to store oysters:
Upon receipt, please open the box and check that all oysters are closed. Then place them properly with the flat side facing up, cover with the original packing, and store in the fridge at 2–5°C. Live oysters can remain fresh for 4–5 days when stored this way. Do not consume any oysters that are open and do not close when gently tapped.
