The New Zealand Pacific Oyster is a consistent performer when it comes to flavour integrity. This deeply cupped oyster with its light creamy texture never disappoints. As Executive Chef of a high end boutique hotel and previously a prominent hotel chain, I need the absolute assurance of food safety. The industry’s commitment to water quality and food safety requiring both USFDA and EU approvals provides the reassurance I need to feature one of the world’s finest oysters on the menu.
