Zeeuwse Platte, le Platte, Belon, flat oyster, or native oyster are other names for the Zeeuwse oyster. The Zeeuwse Platte has the most refined flavor among oysters. The flavor develops slowly, as these oysters are only ready for consumption after 5 to 6 years. It has a round, smooth shell, with sizes indicated in zeros (1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0, 6/0, 6/0 Lux). The Zeeuwse Platte is a rare delicacy because it is being displaced by the fast-growing Zeeuwse Creuse. Additionally, the Zeeuwse Platte reproduces with more difficulty. The season for the Zeeuwse Platte is from mid-September through April.
