La Sublime Oyster - GEAY

La Sublime Oyster - GEAY is a premium oyster variety cultivated in the Marennes-Oléron basin of the Atlantic coast in France. This unique oyster is produced by the Geay family, who have been in the oyster farming business for over 30 years. What sets La Sublime apart from other oysters is its distinctive taste and texture. The oysters are raised in the nutrient-rich waters of the Marennes-Oléron basin, which gives them a complex flavor profile that is both salty and sweet. The oysters also have a creamy texture that is both delicate and firm, making them a joy to eat. 

The Geay family hand-selects each oyster and carefully monitors their growth and development. They also use a unique farming method called "claire" that involves raising the oysters in shallow, sunlit pools filled with seawater and microalgae. This allows the oysters to develop a distinct greenish-blue hue, which is a hallmark of the Marennes-Oléron oyster.

La Sublime Oyster - GEAY are typically enjoyed raw on the half shell, but they can also be baked or grilled for a more complex flavor experience. They pair well with a variety of beverages, including Champagne, white wine, and even beer.
