Chilled Oyster Idéale N°4 by Huîtres Hervé are cultivated French oysters supplied in a box containing 12 pieces. Harvested in France and delivered chilled to preserve freshness, these oysters are graded as size N°4, indicating a smaller shell size compared to larger commercial grades. This size is suitable for seafood platters, tasting assortments, and raw oyster service.

Detailed Information

Oysters classified as N°4 are smaller in shell size but still offer a balanced oyster meat content with a firm, juicy texture. They typically present a clean marine flavor with light saline notes and subtle mineral characteristics.

The Idéale oysters are cultivated in French coastal waters under controlled farming conditions that support gradual shell formation and consistent quality. Their smaller size makes them well suited for tasting platters, appetizers, or serving multiple oysters as part of a seafood selection.
