PARTNER PROFILE
Caledonian Oyster Company Ltd
The Caledonian Oyster Company Ltd is owned and personally run by Hugo and Judith Vajk, who have been farming oysters for twenty years in France and the Channel Isles before returning to Scotland in 1995.
The company farms the Pacific oyster or Crassostrea Gigas, which does not breed naturally in Scottish waters.
The Caledonian Oyster Company Ltd has its own depuration facilities on site in Loch Creran. Depuration means that the oysters are left in tanks for 42 hours with UV treated water being pumped through the system. This eliminates any bacteria that the oyster might have accumulated.
