Chilled Oyster Idéale N°1 by David Hervé are cultivated French oysters supplied in a box containing 48 pieces. Harvested in France and delivered chilled to preserve freshness, these oysters are graded as size N°1, indicating a large shell size with generous meat content. This format is suitable for seafood restaurants, catering services, and gourmet retail.

Detailed Information

Oysters classified as N°1 are known for their larger size and well-developed flesh. They offer a firm, juicy texture and a balanced marine flavor with subtle mineral notes typical of oysters cultivated in French coastal waters.

The Idéale oysters are grown using traditional oyster farming methods that allow gradual shell formation and consistent meat quality. Their larger size makes them suitable for raw oyster service, seafood platters, or classic preparations such as oysters served with lemon wedges or mignonette sauce.
