Wild Creuse from DZM
​
Crassostrea gigas is the Latin name for the pacific oyster or creuse. Much appreciated straight from the shell but also very good au gratin. Wild creuses are collected by hand during low tide in designated sites. This oyster is available between May and October, which is the low season of the farmed oysters.
The wild oyster lives with the tides and survives lying dry during low tide, enduring both freezing cold and heat. That is why it is a very strong oyster that does not disappoint in quality during summertime.
Breeding area
Our wild Zeeland creuses are picked by hand from reclaimed designated parcels on the Oosterschelde. This oyster also has a unique taste and is appreciated at home and abroad.
