Morlaix Native
Baie de Morlaix · Atlantic Coast, France · Ostrea edulis
The flat oyster from Brittany's Baie de Morlaix — the same bay that produces the well-known Pacific C. gigas, but the O. edulis here is rarer, slower, and far more complex. Intense mineral-metallic depth with hazelnut notes and long finish.

Intense, challenging, and deeply rewarding.
