Find answers to our most common questions about oysters, caviar, and champagne catering. From sourcing and freshness to storage and pairings - discover everything you need to know about The Oyster Society experience.
Our oysters are sourced exclusively from the renowned Maldon Oyster Farm in Essex, known for producing exceptional quality oysters with a sweet, briny flavour. By working directly with the farm, we ensure maximum freshness and traceability from sea to celebration.
All oysters are harvested to order and shipped chilled directly from the farm, arriving at your door just hours after leaving the water. This ensures the highest quality, safety, and freshness for the perfect Oyster Society experience.
Keep your oysters refrigerated in their original packaging or on a tray covered with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water. For the best experience, we recommend enjoying them within 5 days of delivery. Rule of thumb: Always ensure the oysters are closed before shucking, if they are open - throw them away.
Yes, we recommend using our stainless steel oyster knife and chainmail glove for a safe and effortless shucking experience. Both are available in our web shop, or you can choose our Luxury Oyster Gift Set, which includes everything you need.
Our oysters pair beautifully with crisp Champagne or a light, aromatic rosé like Ultimate Provence, available in our shop. We also provide a selection of classic condiments and expert pairing tips to elevate your tasting experience.
