Sentinelle

Sentinelle

Sentinelle is a premium oyster with a generous, fleshy character and a refined maritime flavour. The oyster develops in Irish oyster-growing areas, where nutrient-rich waters contribute to its characteristic texture and flavour profile. Its combination of generous meat content, crisp texture and iodine-rich character makes Sentinelle particularly suitable for premium oyster service and gastronomic presentations.

Flavour & texture

Fleshy and crisp, with an iodine-rich maritime flavour, an almond-like aroma and subtle nutty notes.

Culinary applications

Excellent served raw and freshly opened. Ideal for premium oyster platters, seafood towers, tasting menus and sophisticated starters. Serve well chilled and natural or accompany with fresh lemon or a delicate vinaigrette.
