La Speciale oyster is selected by the farmer before refining for its regular shape and its depth.
A deeper concavity in the shell allow the oyster to grow and develop its meat rate.

On tasting, the Speciale is distinct from the Fine de Claire by a firmer texture to the flesh, the volume in the mouth and a remarkable balance between sweetness and savours from the sea.
These oysters are refined for several weeks in Claires where they acquire the typical regional flavours, as well as a superior quality shell compared to oysters only grown in the open sea.
