Simply extraordinary
The Fratini Spéciale is the ideal oyster to enjoy at any time of year, even on warm summer’s days. Its creamy, enveloping flavour transforms any occasion into a chic experience.
Its appearance is as dazzling as its flavour: its pearly, glossy shell, round and smooth, reveals a succulent, fleshy body. The ivory-coloured flesh is firm and dense. Its thick black ‘lips’ contrast with the pale pinkish-white of the adductor muscle, which is robust and prominent amongst the flesh.
On tasting, the Fratini Spéciale offers a smooth, velvety texture that captivates from the very first bite. The aromas of its delicate terroir caress the palate, rising from the nose, whilst a powerful iodine flavour, reminiscent of the finest seafood, intertwines with a unique mineral nuance. The sweetness of the flesh, the undisputed star of the show, takes centre stage on the finish with a silky flavour reminiscent of hazelnut, blending all the flavours into a sensory ecstasy that lingers on the palate for over 10 minutes. This Signature Oyster elevates any pairing, enhancing the freshness and nuances of every drink, transforming the simple into an extraordinary experience.
