For the last 5000 years, aphrodisiacs are substances believed to increase sexual powers, desire and may include such items as foods, herbs, scents, beverages, drugs or various other potions. Oysters are often at the top of the list of aphrodisiacs.Named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty, aphrodisiacs are strongly rooted in every culture yet there is no hard evidence or proof of what actually works and what doesn't. |

WHAT IT IS: The freshest live Kumamoto, Pacific and Virginica oysters sold by the dozen, overnighted from Washington. |
|
WHY IT’S DIFFERENT: Grown in oyster beds in the cleanest estuary in the U.S., the purity of the environment and the direct-to-you freshness let the oysters’ true flavors shine through. |
|
WHY WE LOVE IT: Hedonism without guilt, luxury without sticker shock. After all the great chocolates, wonderful caviars, plates of foie gras, exquisite cakes and pastries—not to mention the fabulous restaurant meals—we enjoy each week, the greatest “wow” we can recall is sitting down to three dozen fresh, pure, meaty oysters from Willapa Oysters. |
