Da Riec-sur-Belon
The flat oyster
By choosing this product you can taste the native Mediterranean sea oyster, which thanks to the ancient Romans was brought to France and generated the "oyster culture" over the millennia. This product has become a legend, both for its particular taste and for the lack of availability expecially during summer, which makes it a rare gastronomic specialty.
THE unique TASTE OF BELON river
When you taste the Belon oysters you will taste a delicate salinity due to the finish in brackish waters generated between the natural stir between river and ocean. The most interesting feature is its almost a tannic bitter taste, which is the result of natural maceration in waters rich in plant elements from the Breton forests. This is what distinguishes a true Belon from an unrefined flat oyster.
A RARE AND DELICATE PRODUCT
The flat oyster is more delicate than the concave ones. An incidence of water loss is therefore tolerable, and therefore a possible waste.
For calibers 00 and 000 it is recommended to make the purchase by the Friday before the order.
