Oysters are more than just food. They are a sign of impeccable taste, an attribute of dolce vita, and the only delicacy that can rival vintage champagne. Dan Martino, founder of one of the most expensive and sought-after oyster farms in the world, opens the doors to the exclusive club of haute cuisine. His book is a guide for true hedonists and aesthetes. Why is the production of premium oysters akin to fine winemaking? How did Cleopatra, Casanova, and the Roman patricians make the oyster the ultimate historical symbol of luxury and sensuality? What is the secret to proper tasting, and how can one learn to decipher the nuances of merroir, from metallic to melon notes? This is exquisite reading for those who appreciate true pleasure.
