How to enjoy caviar?

TEMPERATURE
Caviar should be neither too cold nor too hot. We recommend that you take the caviar out of the tin about ten minutes before serving.

ACCESSORIES
We strongly recommend using a mother-of-pearl or wooden spoon This will avoid altering the taste of the roe Metal utensils should also be avoided, as they can alter the caviar’s flavors.

SERVING
Place your caviar on a bed of ice or dry ice to maintain a cool temperature if the tasting is going to be long. Avoid serving caviar in a metal bowl to preserve its flavor. We recommend that you handle your caviar as little as possible, and avoid temperature variations to preserve the texture of the grains and aromas.

PAIRING
Caviar is a refined delicacy that goes perfectly with a variety of drinks and side dishes.

Champagne is certainly a classic choice, but its freshness enhances that of the caviar and its lightness helps balance the richness of the grains.

Vodka is more traditional but still popular. Its purity and sweetness blend perfectly with the delicate flavor of caviar.

Caviar can be enjoyed on toast or a lightly buttered blini for a crunchy texture that contrasts with the sweetness of the grains.

Caviar makes a great table companion and can also be enjoyed on its own, or with a dash of crème fraîche for those with a sweet tooth. You can also add it to some of your dishes if you wish, bringing unique flavors to your preparations. Get inspired by our homemade caviar recipes.

TASTING
To appreciate the flavors of caviar, some gourmets place a few grains on the back of their hand, at the corner of their thumb, then bring it to their mouth. This skin-on tasting technique slightly warms the caviar grains, releasing their aromas. Various historical origins are attributed to this gesture… 

Serve a small amount of your caviar on your spoon and enjoy it slowly, letting the roe burst on your palate to appreciate the texture and all its flavors.

By following these simple tips, you’ll be able to enjoy your caviar to the full.
