Huîtres Volant

Origin: France

The Huîtres Volant are a symbol of Normandy’s maritime excellence, a region known for its stunning beaches and chalk cliffs.

The strong tides of Normandy enrich the waters with essential nutrients, providing the perfect conditions for the development of Huîtres Volant oysters. This dynamic ecosystem allows the oysters to filter rich and pure water, contributing to their incomparable flavor and texture.

Protected by a robust and slightly rough shell, the Huîtres Volant stand out for their abundant and juicy flesh, with a content exceeding 10.5%. Their flavor profile balances freshness and salinity, offering an authentic experience that reflects the purity of the Normand ocean.
