Rock Oyster

Origin: Ireland

Cultivated in the vast bays and coasts of Ireland, where the waters of the Atlantic mix with the estuaries to create a unique ecosystem rich in nutrients and biodiversity.

These oysters grow in waters rich in plankton and minerals, providing them with the essential nutrients to develop their distinctive flavor. The table culture method, which keeps them suspended on racks about one meter above the seabed, ensures their growth in a protected environment, enhancing their texture and freshness.

With a tender and meaty texture, Irish oysters stand out for their balanced flavor, combining naturally sweet notes with a marine touch.
