David Hervé Oysters & Accessories

Generous and sweet.

Tasting this oyster is about taking a journey for the palette, from Normandy’s Utah Beach through to Spain, Portugal and Ireland. It is about taking the time to discover the unique flavour that these oysters acquire from each of their native terroirs in the four long years before their harvest. This adventurous variety is the older sister of the “Spéciale” oyster. Grown exclusively at sea, it is particularly round and fleschy and never fails to surprise thanks to its ever-unique and sometimes unexpected flavours. The Royale oysters bring colour and life to any meal and are always a hit with connoisseurs.

Its generous-sized shell inspires us to cook it and enjoy it warm. When prepared raw, its delicious flavours will also complement any sophisticated dining occasion.

Characteristics:

Size: No.3

Volume of flesh: 16 to 18% of the weight.

Growing method : 4 years in sea.

Seasonal availability: All year long. 

 Origin: France & Europe

ON PREORDER (8-10 days): Order on Thursdays – Delivery next Saturdays.

Generous and nutty; a small flavourful oyster.

This elegant oyster is one of the great classics of seafood stalls and seafood platters. It owes its excellence, in part, to its slow and harmonious growth at sea. Its finish reveals balanced, salty flavours and crispness with irresistible nutty notes, making it simply delicious overall.

The Spéciale’s sweet, gentle flavour will please both the uninitiated including children, and regular oyster eaters - this is an oyster for everyone.

Flirtatious and sweet; a small flavourful oyster.

The somewhat stubborn Boudeuse, or “sulky one”, appears to not want to grow up. In reality, the repeated movements of the waves of the Atlantic Ocean slow its growth. But beneath its small, round-shaped shell hides precious flavour. Irresistible and flirtatious, its sweetness, delicate character and delicious taste make this generous oyster a real delight.

The Boudeuse likes to be made a meal of, but won’t disappoint as a predinner nibble - its delicate, sweet flavour accompanies aperitifs splendidly.

Classic and salty.

This oyster needs no introduction. The Fine is one of the great classics of the seafood platter, appreciated by both the uninitiated and the most demanding gourmet connoisseurs for its fresh and salty flavour – in short, it’s a must!

Fine is the ideal oyster for your seafood platters and is best enjoyed “au naturel” or with a slight squeeze of lemon.

This one is the famous “Pousse en Claire”. Delicate and Harmonious.

Space, time and the special attention that only authentic know-how acquired over generations can bring are what make the Idéale oysters so remarkable. The outstanding character of this demanding-to-produce Oyster has been awarded at the “Concours Général Agricole”. All throughout their finishing in claires, these oysters cohabit with emperor shrimps which help to maintain phytoplankton, a source of nutrients, in a perfect alchemy between two exceptional creatures.

Just like a fine wine, the Idéale offers an incomparably long finish. As every tasting is unique, we suggest serving these oysters alone as a main dish. The Idéale is a smooth oyster recommended for oyster lovers who will appreciate its balance and explosive flavour.

Characteristics: 

Size: No.3

Volume of flesh: 18 to 20% of the weight.

Growing method : 3 years in sea; finishing in Claires for 8 months; 1 oyster per square meter. Sustainably farmed.

Balanced and locally flavoured.

No oyster embodies the powerful character and sweetness of Marennes Oléron terroir better than the Ronce. This local variety is nurtured by the waters, spray and currents of the Atlantic Ocean where it continues to grow. Its shell slowly takes its shape, becoming rounder and fully filled with the delicate flesh that is so typical of Ronce grown Oyster. 

To enjoy the flavours of the terroir, eat them without anything else than themselves.
