The Oyster Prestige Spéciale

The Oyster Prestige Spéciale

The Oyster Prestige Spéciale is a premium, generously fleshed oyster that develops for almost three years in nutrient-rich waters. The oyster spat originates in France and grows in the oyster terroirs of Ireland. The cultivation and quality of the oysters are carefully monitored throughout the year. The result is a fleshy premium oyster combining maritime intensity with an attractive texture and refined flavour profile.

Flavour & texture

Full and iodine-rich, with a firm, crunchy texture. An almond-like aroma and subtle nutty notes complement its distinctive maritime flavour.

Culinary applications

Excellent served raw and freshly opened. Its generous meat content and distinctive flavour make it particularly suitable for premium oyster platters and gastronomic starters. Serve natural, with lemon or a delicate vinaigrette to allow its characteristic flavour to remain the focus.
