The Pinctada maxima Oyster
The whole oyster, honoured.
The South Sea pearl — the largest and most valuable of all pearls — is a labour of love, spending two years growing in some of the world's most pristine waters.
Nothing from the oyster that nurtures it is wasted.
Bi-product i.
Pinctada maxima shell.
Like the pearl itself, mother of pearl shell is prized for its iridescence.
A wonderful bi-product of South Sea pearl farming, mother of pearl is a sustainably sourced, natural material commonly used for buttons, furniture inlay, fashion accessories, jewellery, car paint, skincare products and home décor.
During the harvest months, AUTORE mother of pearl shell is available for wholesale purchase. All AUTORE pearl shell is MSC Certified Sustainable.
Bi-product ii.
Pinctada maxima pearl meat.
A sought-after delicacy in many countries, with only a small quantity reaching the market each year.
Pearl meat is the adductor muscle of the Pinctada maxima, sustainably sourced from South Sea pearl farming. Described as similar in texture and flavour to abalone or scallops, it is known for its nutritional value, and is becoming increasingly popular for the unique and unparalleled dining experience it provides.
After each harvest, AUTORE pearl meat is snap frozen and sold to internationally recognised restaurants around the world. All AUTORE pearl meat is MSC Certified Sustainable.
