Spéciales Gillardeau Ireland – The Connoisseur's Oyster

Cultivated in Irish waters and finished in Marennes-Oléron by Gillardeau, these Spéciales benefit from generations of Gillardeau family expertise: a connoisseur’s oyster with generous flesh and a firm texture.

What to Expect

Sweetness, nuttiness and a mineral undertone, carried by fleshy, firm meat.

Origin & Product Details

• Origin: Ireland, finished in Marennes-Oléron, France.
• Producer: Gillardeau.
• Size: No.3.
• Product type: Live oysters, shucked or unshucked.

Serving Ideas

Best enjoyed raw to appreciate its character: freshly shucked over ice, with a drop of lemon at most. Pair with Champagne or a mineral white wine.

Storage & Handling

Keep live oysters refrigerated at 0–4°C, flat side up and covered with a damp cloth. Avoid fresh water and do not freeze. Shucked oysters should be kept on ice and enjoyed promptly; for the best flavour, enjoy as fresh as possible after delivery.
