620114
The Pousse en Claire oyster is raised in the clear (la claire), where it stays between four and eight months at very low density (two to five oysters per m²). La claire can be compared to a "field of water" whose soil is regularly worked by hand in order to reinforce the natural impermeability which gives it the blue clay of which it is composed in Marenne-Oléron. Its nutritional action is particular thanks to the sediment which is deposited on this clayey bottom, and to the natural current ensuring a good circulation of phytoplankton, offers the ideal conditions for the growth of Pousse en Claire. The calm of the clearing also allows optimal fattening, producing an oyster of characteristic firmness, with the inimitable taste linked to its terroir.
An expert family oyster farm, ideally located on the island of Marennes Oléron.
A familiy oyster farm is located on Oleron Island in the center of the bassin Marennes-Oleron. Connected directly to the sea allows us to cultivate 25 hectares of claires. Just as vineyards bring character to certain wines, the claire has the effect on oysters of natural exchanges and conditions which are never identical, depending on exposition, location and quality of the ground. They manage the entire production life cycle from the reproduction until the finishing in claires, a know-how transmitted from generation to generation. It is during this process that the oysters acquire the subtleties of regional flavours. The claires, situated between the land and the sea, are the reflection of those two environments. Their passion has been rewarded since 1998 by over 19 distinctions granted by the "Concours Général Agricole de Paris", the European Masters of the degustation...See all products in this range
