About Gillardeau Oysters 12 Pack

We source our oysters from the finest producing regions in Britain and France. In particular, Jersey waters and the Atlantic-facing claires of Charente-Maritime produce oysters that few other locations can match. As a result, we work with trusted producers who share our commitment to sustainable aquaculture. Furthermore, oyster quality depends entirely on the water they grow in and the care taken from harvest to delivery. However, not all oysters are equal — the difference between a great oyster and a mediocre one is immediately apparent. In particular, we stock only varieties with a genuine and distinct character. Additionally, we dispatch oysters on the day of harvest wherever possible. This preserves the freshness and vitality that defines a great oyster. That commitment to provenance and freshness drives every decision we make. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Gillardeau Oysters 12 Pack From Us

Serving oysters well requires very little technique. In contrast to other luxury ingredients, oysters need no cooking at all. As a result, the quality of the oyster itself is the only thing that matters. Furthermore, shucking is a skill worth learning. A good oyster knife and a folded cloth are the only tools needed. However, always shuck just before serving as an oyster left open quickly loses its liquor and vitality. In particular, serve on crushed ice with a wedge of lemon and nothing more for the purest expression of flavour. Moreover, mignonette, Tabasco and a good Champagne are the classic companions if accompaniments are wanted. Additionally, oysters are best consumed on the day of opening for the finest flavour and the safest eating experience. That immediacy is part of what makes a great oyster so special.

How to Serve Gillardeau Oysters 12 Pack

To get the very best from it:

  • Shuck with great care — the Gillardeau shell is thick and strong but the liquor inside is precious and must not be lost.
  • Serve on crushed ice with nothing but a wedge of lemon for the purest possible expression of flavour.
  • Furthermore, gillardeau oysters 12 pack suit serving with a single glass of the finest Champagne as the only appropriate accompaniment.
  • Additionally, if any dressing is wanted, a few drops of very good Champagne vinegar is all this extraordinary oyster needs.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

  • A single glass of the finest Champagne — the only accompaniment needed
  • A wedge of lemon and nothing more for the purest flavour
  • A very good Champagne vinegar mignonette if any dressing is wanted
  • A grand cru Chablis, Pouilly-Fumé or an aged Meursault alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated at 0 to 4°C with the flat side up to preserve the natural liquor inside the shell. Oysters are live shellfish and should be consumed within 5 days of delivery. Furthermore, cover with a damp cloth rather than sealing in plastic to allow the oysters to breathe. However, discard any oysters that do not close when tapped, or that have an unpleasant odour. Delivered live and ready to shuck.

However you serve it, this product brings a purity and depth that only the finest live shellfish can deliver. Moreover, a great oyster always rewards simplicity and the finest simple accompaniments.
