A brief guide to caviar

Caviar is patience — and a matter of the right moment.

Years pass before a sturgeon yields its roe. And it takes experience to refine it at precisely the right instant. Here you will find hand-picked varieties in Malossol quality — lightly salted, so each grain can speak for itself.

How to enjoy caviar properly.

  • Cool, but not ice-cold: take it from the fridge shortly before serving, on crushed ice.
  • No metal: use mother-of-pearl, horn or wooden spoons — metal distorts the flavour.
  • Pure first: taste the first grain on the back of your hand before pairing it with blini & crème fraîche.
  • To accompany: a dry Champagne or an ice-cold vodka — or one of my wines; I am happy to recommend the perfect match.

Which caviar shall it be?
