Ideas & inspiration for your caviar order

---

Caviar is an elegant dish that always brings about ohh and ahh at the table.  It also signifies decadence and prestige.  Why so? Well because its quite a pricy delicacy.  Each fish needs to be from 12-14 years old in order to produce caviar.  Then there aren't so many fish that do.  Therefore, supply and demand makes it as expensive as $25,000lb.

There are different types of names for Kaluga and Ossetra caviar.  There is imperial, royal and many others.  What do those names mean? Well there are different grades of caviar.  Grade A is top of the line never frozen and that is the only product we carry.  Grade B and C are usually smaller in size and could have been previously frozen.  That makes it less expensive and therefor the different names for different grades.

Now a days caviar is a sustainable product because the fish are farmed.  No longer are they fished out of their homes and on the verge of being extinct which was happening to beluga.  That is why beluga caviar is no longer legal and is in the red book of protected wild life species.   

Caviar is a food of celebration, you don't eat caviar everyday it means an occasion.  If your planning a romantic dinner caviar will make it extra special.  You can  surprise your partner with a glass of champagne and ask them to close their eyes while you feed them a mother of pearl spoon full of caviar.  Its such a sexy intimate way to experience the evening.  

If you would like to incorporate caviar into a special dinner you can serve it a few different ways.  It goes very well with pasta and makes it look and taste out of this world.  Make spaghetti add butter and top it off with caviar its as simple as that. It also goes great on top of a baked potato toped with sour cream and butter.  This combo is just so tasty oh and a shot of vodka makes it wow. 

Another great way to enjoy caviar is to have it with your family or friends of course.  One way to do that is to go on a picnic.  Caviar is quite easy to serve all you need are some Blinies and a spoon plus a bottle of sparkling wine to make the occasion even more memorable.  Or you can have a tasting at a home party.  Put on an eye mask on a person and have them describe the test of the caviar.  Then have them guess which one are they eating.  Our samplers are great for that.
