Chilled Oyster Idéale N°4 by Huîtres 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°4, indicating a smaller shell size suitable for tasting portions and seafood assortments. This format is commonly used in restaurants and seafood platters.

Detailed Information

Oysters classified as N°4 are smaller in size but offer a balanced meat-to-shell ratio and a firm, juicy texture. They typically present a clean marine flavor with light saline notes and subtle mineral characteristics typical of oysters grown in French coastal waters.

The Idéale oysters are cultivated under controlled marine farming conditions that support gradual shell development and consistent quality. Their smaller size makes them suitable for tasting platters, appetizers, or serving multiple oysters as part of a seafood selection.
