Fine de Claire Label Rouge.
The Label Rouge qualification is a Quality Certification granted to producers who meet strict criteria for obtaining it. This qualification is renewed annually. Ostras Daniel Sorlut was one of the first companies to obtain this award, which he has done continuously since 1989, the year of creation of this denomination. During the entire process of raising and distributing the Fine de Claire Label Rouge, the INAO, an independent official service, carries out the controls that certify the respect of the established criteria table, guaranteeing the superior quality of this oyster: meat mass, very specific green color, traceability, etc. The particular green color of this Fine de Claire Label Rouge oyster is specific to the production of the area, and comes from the pigment of the unicellular alga Navícula Azul, which lives in ponds and colors the gills of the oyster when it filters the water. This seaweed does not influence its flavor, but it gives this oyster a beautiful hue.
We are Oyster Producers, we supervise each stage of cultivation with mastery and exigency, controlling all technical aspects, selection, cleaning and packaging, thus guaranteeing the quality offered by the Daniel Sorlut brand.
Our cultivation takes place on the French coast of the Charente-Maritime region, right at the mouth of the Charente river, on the surface of the 3,000 hectare Marennes Oléron delta. For centuries this growing area has been the chosen one by oyster farmers. With shallow and calm waters, the algae have flourished profusely. Plots of salt water connected by a network of channels and fed according to the tides, the claires offer the optimal environment for our oyster to receive the necessary nutrients for its growth.
After decades of evolution, at Ostras Daniel Sorlut we have culminated our offer in four unique flavored oysters: the Fine de Claire, the Fine de Claire Label Rouge, the Spéciale de Claire and the Spéciale Daniel Sorlut.
