About Bras D'Or

Grown in the immense saltwater Bras D'Or Lakes that nearly turn Cape Breton Island into a donut. The channel to the sea is small but the lakes aren't fed by any sizable rivers, so the oysters stay brinier than you might think.

In plain words: briny, light-bodied, clean, intense, with briny salt.
