La Ferme des Baleines Spéciales de Claire Oysters
La Ferme des Baleines Salt Pond Select Oysters live their entire lives in our salt marshes in Saint-Clément-des-Baleines on the Île de Ré.
They are refined in our salt ponds for a minimum of 2 months. La Ferme des Baleines Salt Pond Select Oysters carry the flavours of the merroir of the Île de Ré: a balance of land and sea.
Salt Pond Select Oysters from La Ferme des Baleines will be available for purchase at the farm and online starting in December 2018.
