Chilled Oyster Fine de Claire N°1 by Huitres Hervé are premium French oysters supplied in a box containing 24 pieces. Harvested in France and delivered chilled to maintain freshness, these oysters are graded as size N°1, indicating a large shell size with well-developed 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 develop their characteristic flavor and texture. This refining process contributes to a balanced taste with mild saline notes and subtle mineral nuances.

Size N°1 oysters are larger and provide generous flesh with a firm, juicy texture. Their structure and flavor make them suitable for raw oyster service, seafood platters, or classic presentations with lemon wedges or mignonette sauce.
