Tyne Valley
Valley Pearl, Cultivators of Patience
The crew at Valley Point grow their oysters in the crisp, picture-perfect waters of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Theirs are some of the most northern stocks of oysters in North America, often having to saw through the snow to reach them in the winter. Because of this, each oyster takes between 5 – 6 years to reach market size.
The Gritty Details:
Wild Malpeque spat is caught and grown in bags until large enough to plant on the bottom. It remains on the bottom to grow naturally until harvest. Time to market: 5 to 6 years.
Flavor Influenced by:
- Salinity: 2.6% < 3.5% full oceanic salinity
- Tides: Two three-foot tides per day currents
- Bottom Makeup: Clean sandy bottom with eelgrass
