Ostra Regal in Cancale
Cancale is the home port of the Boutrais family: it is here, in our workshop, that oysters are purified, controlled under a strict specification, then shipped. Ostra Regal itself is grown on our Irish beds (Dundrum Bay, Bannow Bay) — Cancale is not the farming site but the heart of the craft and of shipping.
Ostra Regal is the Boutrais family's premium selection: a triploid cupped oyster farmed for up to four years in Ireland (Dundrum Bay, Bannow Bay), including a low-density pousse-en-conche phase, then purified, graded and shipped from Cancale. Plump flesh, clean iodine, a sweet-briny balance that makes it a recognisable signature — in Cancale as anywhere else.

Pairings: oysters & wine in Cancale
In Cancale the classic pairing is Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine sur lie, but a dry Breton farmhouse cider also elevates the iodine. Purists will choose Chablis or a brut nature champagne.
Serve the oysters well chilled on ice, plain or with a squeeze of lemon. To go further, our article on wine and oyster pairings: www.ostraregal.com/journal/accords-vins-huitres
