Storage & Logistics

We don’t store oysters, - they’re either on their way to bistros or they’re headed back to the water. We don’t pre shuck, nor, god forbid, freeze. So our cooling is 100% natural, 100% sustainable. Based on evaporative cooling, the packing shed has a 7 metre high pitch ridge with lower breezeway doors to maximise cooling currents, passing over wet concrete floor. Damp hessian covers draw heat from crated oysters, magically chilling down stock. Low volatility in storage temperatures maximises shelf life, further helped by least possible sets of transport hands between farm and kitchen.

*In Europe oyster boxes must bear this tag (the shellfish must be alive at the time of sale).
