CASPIAN CAVIAR AND RUSSIA

Caviar is often associated with Russia. Given the tragic events that are currently unfolding in Ukraine, I thought it sensible to set out our position regarding Russia. We do not source any of our caviars from Russia or any state aligned with Russia. All of our caviars are sourced from farms in Europe. The farms are located in France, Italy and Bulgaria. We have, until now, been selling two vodkas which are distilled in Russia: Beluga and Belenkaya. It is our understanding that the owners of these vodka brands have... Read More

OSCIETRA OR OSCIETRA?

As the sharp eyed of you will know, we have recently introduced a new Oscietra to our range on a trial basis. It comes from a very well regarded farm in France and we have stuck it under the Caspian Gold” label for know. It is softer and greyer than our normal Oscietra, which comes from Italy. Initial feedback from customers had been very positive, but we thought it was time to put it to the test of a “live” taste-off with our Italian Oscietra. We assembled six friends/customers and...

Caviar Samples: Quality is Key!

It sounds perfectly obvious, doesnt it? However, it is strange how many people think that they can provide a poor quality caviar sample, then persuade us to buy their rubbish product. This is a skill that is often demonstrated by those strange “Agents” trying to peddle “best quality Iranian caviar” who normally pretend that they have their own farm , always on the Caspian Sea, when it is obvious that they do not. The other day, one such individual turned up unannounced and delivered a sample of the aforementioned “best... Read More

TRUFFLE SALAD?!?

It does sound a little weird, but it can work. I had not really considered using Truffle Oil in a salad dressing but now I am a convert. The other day, I was presented with a salad of rocket and pea shoots, with thinly sliced apple and courgettes, with a light blue cheese. It was dressed with a simple concoction of black truffle oil and balsamic vinegar. It was delicious. The key ingredient was the blue cheese, which combined with the truffle to give the whole salad a sensational flavour.... Read More

White Russian

The heading should really be White v. Russian, but I rather liked the way that it suggested a cocktail. If you are wondering what I am talking about, the answer is, of course, sturgeon. The White Sturgeon is also known as Transmontanus and the Russian Sturgeon is better known as Oscietra. Its scientific name is tricky to spell, so I will stick with Oscietra. But why am I putting them up against each other? There is no contest: Oscietra is the most wonderful caviar, and Transmontanus is not. I have... Read More
