Marennes Oléron Oyster : The best possible oyster
From La Claire to the dish, Marennes Oléron oysters are meticulously controlled. Stage after stage, the quality of oysters is supervised by professionals (selfinspection), Quality Department (internal control), certifying body (external control), a microbiological analysis laboratory and a sensory analysis laboratory. Controls cover the following main aspects: maturing procedures, organoleptic quality of the product, and traceability.
Each year, oyster farms are audited for each product by Quality Department, which represents 1,600 controls. Health quality is guaranteed by a microbiological analysis laboratory (2,000 analyses).
Over 300 outlets are inspected each year in order to control the selling conditions of the products. And, the Customer Service ensures that all products come up to each consumer’s expectations.
