Irish Quality Oysters
Success
of IQO Oysters at SIRHA
(25 Feb 2009)
During the internationally renowned Sirha (International Restaurant, Hotel and Food Fair) held in Lyon, over 500 professional visitors tasted samples of Irish Quality Oysters at the BIM stand. A large proportion of visitors to the stand were either restaurant owners, central catering buyers or fish shop owners. The feedback received from the tasting and its questionnaire was very positive, with a satisfaction rate of 98 %. French catering professionals described Irish oysters as being meaty with a crisp delicate lingering taste, a light iodine flavour, a slight nut fragrance and well balanced salinity. They associated oysters from Ireland with authenticity and a natural environment.
