Coromandel Rock

Coromandel Peninsula · Pacific Coast, New Zealand · Saccostrea glomerata

A rare wild SRO population in New Zealand — the Coromandel Rock oyster is a different experience from the NZ Pacific oysters grown in the same region. Firm, earthy-nutty, with strong umami and modest brine — distinctly SRO character in a Pacific oyster landscape.
