The Breton oyster farmers will argue that
it is due to their unrivalled expertise that has been handed down through the
generations. This is probably true, but the quality is also due to Brittany’s
outstanding waters. The strong currents constantly mix the water, giving the
oysters all the plankton they need to ensure healthy growth.
Brittany harvests 12 types of oyster, and
the real oyster connoisseurs will tell you they all have their own distinctive
taste.
Not only do oysters taste delicious but
they also contain proteins of superior quality with essential amino acids which
the body needs for tissue formation and repair. They are also an excellent
source of vitamin B12.
So, when you are next in Brittany, head for PĂ©nerf and pick up a kilo or
two of oysters !!
