GROWN IN White Oak River near Swansboro, NC
CULTIVATED BY Benjy Davey & Family of White Oak Oyster Co
Benjy Davis founded White Oak Oyster Company after struggling to find good NC oysters inland. While Benjy & his wife live in Durham full time, Benjy’s parents’ home in Swansboro serves as the company’s headquarters.
Croatan Selects are so named due to their proximity to Croatan National Forest. They are high on brine and deep in flavor, with vegetal and mineral notes mixing to give them an umami flavor. They are perfect for popping and eating raw with a beer.
