Our values

Nessains

The quality of our products and the satisfaction of our customers are our key values.

At each stage in the farming process, our oysters and minutely controlled in line with applicable food standards. Every week, our professionals check the hygiene quality of the oysters.

Tradition and modernity are our two guiding principles: although we farm our oysters by hand, continuing the artisan movements and methods of our ancestors, the process is rigourously monitored on the basis of cutting-edge biological and environmental expertise.

We encourage the local identity of our products. This is why our oyster spats are supplied by the hatchery in Gatteville-le-Phare (Manche), situated within twenty kilometres of the oyster farm.

We are proud of our brand, “Les Jardins Ostréicoles de Tatihou”, and guarantee the origins of the product to our clients. We have committed ourself to only supplying oysters which have been raised by us in our farms.
