Are you ready to elevate your oyster experience? If you’ve heard about Appellation Oysters but haven’t yet explored why they’re the cream of the crop, here are five compelling reasons to make them your go-to choice:

1. Rock Oysters: A Native Australian Treasure

Appellation Oysters exclusively showcase Rock Oysters - native to Australian waters and cultivated only here. These resilient oysters can thrive out of water for up to 20 days (when stored properly), making them ideal for the food service industry. Their robust nature is matched only by their incredible flavour, which reflects the pristine estuaries they’re farmed in.

2. Peak Seasonality & Premium Quality

The Appellation Oysters brand is synonymous with excellence. Each oyster is selected at its peak seasonal best, ensuring you get the richest, fullest flavours and textures. These are truly the cream of the crop - the finest Rock Oysters from the daily harvest.

3. Unique Merroir, Preserved Live

Every Appellation Oyster is:

• Always Live – sold unopened to preserve the unique flavours of the estuary it’s sourced from (known as merroir). This also encourages a shuck to order mentality.

• Always Rock Oysters – to ensure the five pitstops of flavour: brininess, creaminess, minerality, sweetness, and umami.

• Always Hand Graded – to ensure an exceptional meat-to-shell ratio and the natural perfection intended by nature.

4. Award-Winning Excellence

Appellation Oysters are consistently recognised as being top quality. Some recent accolades include:

• 2024 Sydney Royal Gold Medals

• 2023 Sydney Royal President’s Medal Finalist

• 2023 Sydney Royal Gold Medals

• 2022 Sydney Royal Champion Rock Oyster

• 2022 Sydney Royal Gold Medals

These awards speak to the premium quality and craftsmanship behind every oyster.

5. Sustainable Luxury with a Seal of Guarantee

Each order arrives in a sleek, recyclable black box complete with an estuary tasting note and our seal of guarantee. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do, ensuring every oyster embodies environmental care as well as delicious flavour.
