Description

Special oyster initially bred in the North-West of Ireland, where it grows to commercial size thanks to the waters rich in nutrients brought to the Irish coast by the Gulf Stream, and then refined in the Charente Maritime, a French region bordering the Atlantic. Small in size, as the name implies as delicate as a butterfly, it is ideal for first-time tasters; it is perfect for aperitifs and any preparation requiring a small concentrate of flavour. Abundant flesh, combined with a sweet flavour and a definite crunchiness due to the development of the callus, give rise to a truly surprising oyster.
