Huitres à Volant is a special selection of French Special de Claires.
- 12 pc per wooden basket

This well-known French oyster has undergone its last ‘affinage’ (ripening process) in the ‘claires’ for 2 to 6 months, with a maximum density of 10 oysters per square metre, during which they fatten and take on a sweeter, fruitier flavour from the water and phytoplankton in the ponds. This also gives this oyster its characteristic roundness and depth.
