Chilled Oyster Fine de Claire N°1 by Huîtres Hervé are cultivated French oysters supplied in a box containing 96 pieces. Harvested in France and delivered chilled to maintain freshness, these oysters are graded as size N°1, indicating a large shell size with generous oyster meat. The Fine de Claire designation refers to oysters refined in traditional clay ponds known as “claires.”

Detailed Information

Fine de Claire oysters undergo a finishing stage in shallow coastal ponds where they remain for several weeks. During this period, they develop a more refined flavor profile and a firmer texture compared to standard cultivated oysters.

Size N°1 oysters provide well-developed flesh and a juicy, firm structure. Their balanced marine flavor with light saline and mineral notes makes them suitable for raw oyster service, seafood platters, or classic presentations with lemon wedges or mignonette sauce.
