Description
Born from the meeting of Atlantic power and the magic of French claires, Blue Utah is a Special oyster that fuses the best of Utah Beach (Normandy) with the refined finishing of Fine de Claire Verte (Marennes-Oléron). This unique oyster combines the meaty generosity and deep sea flavor of Utah Beach with terroir nuances, vegetal notes, and the signature green hue only a Marennes-Oléron claire can provide. Initially raised in the vigorous waters of the Baie des Veys, where currents and tides shape its texture and increase meat content, the Emerald Tide is then moved to the historic claires of Marennes-Oléron. In these shallow ponds, rich in plankton and microalgae—including Navicula Blue—the oyster develops its green tint and extraordinary elegance, blending terroir complexity with its intense marine origins.
Upon tasting, the Emerald Tide offers a sensory experience that is both deep and delicate. On the nose, hints of the open sea, green seaweed, and damp earth intertwine. On the palate, the initial intense iodine typical of Utah Beach softens into vegetal and mineral flavors, culminating in a long, fresh, and balanced finish with a lingering memory of the sea and the claires. A signature oyster designed for the most discerning palates seeking authenticity, complexity, and a distinctive character.
