RRO™ is
proud to lead the renaissance
of the Chesapeake Bay. So come
celebrate with us the amazing
variety of flavors found within
in this one-of-a-kind estuary. Find
out why the Bay is
famous the world over
for its
seafood - and has been for
centuries.
To date we've reintroduced
four
famous oyster varieties (all
native), from the sweet Rappahannock
River oyster to the ocean-side
Olde Salt. Stay tuned and
we'll
be introducing even more
great
varieties
- all native, all
aquaculture grown. Enjoy
what
may well be the best tasting
oysters ever grown. (All
oysters sold live, in the
shell.) |

Taste Profile: Deep
cupped and mineral rich, with an understated saltiness that
lets the oyster's natural flavor come though, our Rappahannocks
offer up a sweet, buttery, full-bodied taste with a refreshingly
clean, crisp finish. It's the very same oyster we started
growing in 1899.

Species: Crassostrea virginica (native)

Profile: The truest taste of the ocean, our Olde

a classic, it’s a legend.
