We are growers, oyster-lovers and founders of the cooperation World of Oysters, with our roots in the village of Yerseke in the Southwest of the Netherlands. A small community with a long history of oyster and mussel cultivation. We – three brothers, fourth-generation shellfish growers, two on shore and one at sea – noticed our customers’ demand for a wider range of oysters.

World of Oysters is one of the partners in the Yerseke Oyster Festival. Thanks to World of Oysters, visitors to the festival can taste oysters from all corners of the globe, each with their own, unique story. You will seldom see this many oysters in one place: only at the Oyster Festival. Many top chefs such as Syrco Bakker (Pure C **) and Jeffrey Laarberg (Inter Scaldes ***) have attended the festival, cooking up stunning oyster dishes.
