Gillardeau Special oysters are premium grade oysters grown and harvested in the Marennes-Oléron region of France. They are named after the Gillardeau family, who have been producing oysters in this region for over a hundred years.
Gillardeau Special oysters are known for their plump and usually larger than many other varieties of oysters and have a distinctive scallop-shaped fluted shell that is easy to open.
Oysters are grown in shallow pools known as claires, which are filled with nutrient-rich seawater. They are then hand-picked and sorted to ensure that only the best examples are sold under the Gillardeau brand.
Gillardeau Special oysters are often served raw in a half-shell, with squeezed lemon or mignonette sauce. They are popular in high-end restaurants and prized by oyster connoisseurs around the world.
