Momma Mia
About Momma Mia
Surface-grown in floating cages off Rustico on Prince Edward Island's north shore, with the cages sunk each winter to escape the ice sheets. A hard-shelled oyster that opens with a salty taste of the sea and finishes mild on a slightly fruity note.
In plain words: briny, fruity, mild, clean, firm, with briny salt.
