EXCELLENCE
OUR DNA
From Henri to Thierry and Veronique, Maison Gillardeau has always cultivated excellence.
It’s a value that’s dear to the House, and one that we’re committed to passing on from generation to generation.
From our yards to your tables, we carry out rigorous checks every day to guarantee you the very best of our production.
THE BEST OF OUR PRODUCTION
Maison Gillardeau checks the quality of its oysters on receipt, ensuring that the shape of the shell and the meat content meet our requirements and those of our customers.
We keep a constant eye on the salinity and oxygen content of the water in our development ponds, to ensure the well-being of our oysters and optimal conditions for their growth.
We also carry out tests and analyses several times a day to check water quality.
During packaging, and after rigorous cleaning to rid them of parasitic shellfish, each bag of oysters is then hand-sorted by size.
LASER ENGRAVING AND THE FIGHT AGAINST COUNTERFEITING
Thanks to our know-how, preserved like a treasure and handed down from generation to generation, we shape the oyster like the sea shapes the coastline, to the rhythm of the tides and the seasons. The Gillardeau, an oyster with an exceptional taste that is often copied, but never equaled, was born of this know-how.
To combat counterfeiting, each oyster we grow is laser-marked with our emblematic G on the shell before being placed in a basket, guaranteeing that your oysters are genuine Gillardeau.
