Distinctive Merroir

Oysters from Ireland
are rich and varied in taste
with each bay and season.

Ireland possesses Europe’s optimal conditions for premium oyster cultivation.

The location of where the oyster is grown provides it with its own unique taste.
This is known as the 'merroir'.

A quality choice

Our Unique
Profile

Shaped by the varied merroir of our unspoiled landscape, Irish oysters can be identified by and appreciated for their distinct characteristics.

The perfect teardrop shell with smooth white enamel.

Firm, meaty, clean, crisp, umami-rich. A lingering sweet iodine flavour with a hint of nut.

Oysters have a range of exceptional nutritional qualities. Rich in protein, which helps the build and maintenance muscle and low in fat, oysters are an ideal part of a well-balanced diet. One portion of oysters contains 100% of the daily requirement of vitamin B12 and high quantities of the five essential minerals associated with the brain.

In September 2019, I had the opportunity to taste oysters with the chefs of the Irish Beef Club. What struck me most was the full, creamy flesh. Since that moment, I only have oysters from Ireland.

I have great respect for Irish oysters, grown in the pristine waters around the island. What has always impressed me the most is the fine interplay of salty freshness, delicate minerality, and a slightly nutty aftertaste.

Irish oysters are pure enjoyment for me! The firm flesh and beautiful creaminess make them the absolute star. For me, pairing them with a freshly tapped Guinness has become a fixed ritual.
