HOUSE SELECTION 50g

It may be tempting to lament the decline of wild caviar, but instead lets celebrate the rise of sturgeon farming and the improvement in skills and farming techniques. Without such an improvement, it simply would not be possible to offer you caviar of this quality at such a remarkable price.

The eggs are similar in size to Oscietra, but are rather darker in colour, some verging towards black. The caviar is lightly salted and has a mild, clean taste. It is surprisingly complex, with flavours of the sea sprinkled with citrus undertones. Best of all, at this price, you can have lots of it!

Please note that all caviar products should be refrigerated upon receipt. Once opened, consume within 48 hours.

We have taken a tasting tour of caviar from lesser known sturgeon breeds being farmed across Europe in the search of a quality, low cost caviar to offer to you as our House Selection. In the past, we have offered various interesting hybrid caviars as House Selection. However, we have now been able to do a great deal with the oldest and best producer of Siberian (Baerii) caviar in France, allowing us to offer you an exceptional caviar at an unexceptional price.

At the lower end of the price scale, caviar can be rather a disappointing experience as it can be rather bland and tasteless. Some appears to be no more than the by-product of White Sturgeon meat production. This is not the case with our House Selection - the only complaint we have received is that it has too much complex flavour for a caviar of this price!

What is Borax?

Borax, also known as Sodium borate, is a form of salt that is traditionally used in caviar production. It helps in the preservation process, improves consistency and also enhances the flavour.

Delivery Details

We offer a range of delivery options, which are listed on the order page. All UK caviar orders are sent out on a next day basis, excluding Sundays and Bank Holidays, on a fully trackable service. We need your order by 2.00pm if we are to deliver the following day. Your order will be packed with ice and delivered in thermo-dynamic packaging to ensure that it arrives with you in perfect condition.

Our system allows you to select your required delivery day, up to two months in advance.

We despatch using Parcel Force for deliveries in the UK. It is a "sign for" service so please ensure that there is somebody home on the day of delivery. On despatch, you will receive confirmation, along with the Parcel Force tracking number. Most areas now have "Live Tracking" which provides an estimated time of delivery, which can help to ensure that somebody is at home.

However hard we try, things can go wrong with a delivery. This will result from things beyond our control, such as van breakdowns, severe weather or road closures.

We will do whatever we can to get your parcel delivered, but our success will rely on an early warning. Having been doing this for over 18 years, we do know how best to work the systems.
