Delicate and Refined Flavour
For centuries Caviar has been regarded as one of the finest delicacies, enjoyed by early Persians, Greeks and even in Imperial Rome. Gourmets like to debate the subtle nuances and flavours in different caviar types. As these flavours are so delicate caviar is usually served using a mother of pearl spoon as it is inert, and does not impart any flavour or taint to the caviar.
Our caviar is from the Siberian sturgeon (acipenser baerii), It is a medium-grained roe recognised for its silky texture with a refreshing flavour that has a breathe of the sea. The grain colours range from black/grey all the way to black/brown tones. The caviar has been prepared using the traditional “Malossol” process. The roe’s diameter is between 2.5 – 3.0mm and has a colour palette stretching from pearl grey to hazelnut. Tins are available in three different sizes 50g, 100g and 250g. Osetra caviar is one of the most prized and refined types of caviar.
Sustainable Caviar
With the availability of ethical and sustainable sourcing you can enjoy this treat with a clear conscience. Many years of scientific research and investment, sturgeon farms have now mastered the rearing of the fish and can contribute not only to the production of eggs but also the preservation of this majestic Fish. Our caviar is produced in the farm located in Pandino, Cremona province, within the Natural Park of the Tormo river, one of the few still pristine rivers of Lombardy. The Tormo river takes its waters from a wide numbers of flatland springs, so waters are constantly fresh, clear and pure in which the sturgeons can thrive.
