$85.00 – $260.00 inc. GST
100% genuine Russian Osetra Caviar, the finest in the world – unique in its colour, size and robust flavor.
A genuine Russian Osetra caviar featuring medium to large grain pearls. The Renaissance variety consists of clear, glossy eggs with an amber green to brown appearance and a warm texture. This rare caviar has a rich, nutty, melt-in-your mouth flavor.
With farming conditions that closely mimic that of sturgeon natural habitat in the Caspian See, Karat Caviar brings you the same coveted qualities of wild harvested Russian Osetra. Karat Caviar is available in a range of deep amber to light golden in color, has a firm texture, and the classic “nutty” flavor distinctive of the Russian Osetra sturgeon.

Description
Ingredients: 100% Russian Osetra Sturgeon Roe, Salt.
Storage: Unopened, a container of fresh caviar may be kept in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks (see use by date on product). It is advised to open tin quickly after purchase to enjoy all the full qualities of Karat Caviar. Aging caviar at home leads to its iodizing and developing a fishy tinge. Once opened, it is highly perishable and should be eaten right away. Never keep caviar in the freezer. The ideal temperature is a 0 – 4°C.
Serving:
- Preparation: Remove the caviar from the refrigerator 15 minutes before eating, but hold on- the lid should be removed only at the last moment. Offer the whole tin or jar of caviar on a heaping bed of crushed ice. Allow at least 1 oz. (30 grams) per person.
- Tableware: For the purest taste, serve your caviar in our specialty Caviar Serving Dish using a Mother-of-Pearl Spoon, which is the most traditional material for caviar utensils. Other material commonly used for caviar service are gold, wood, porcelain or animal horn. Beyond the regal appearance of these utensils, there is a practical reason for using them: it is believed that silver and other metal utensils oxidize the caviar, spoiling its delicate flavor. It is recommended to chill the utensils before serving.
- Tasting: For the first tasting of caviar, put a small amount of caviar on the back of the hand, between the thumb and index finger. Wait a few seconds to allow the grains to match your body’s temperature. Then bring your hand to your mouth and take in the caviar grains, placing them on your tongue and pressing them against the top of your mouth to release the liquid and aroma. This is the traditional way of tasting caviar.
- Savouring: Many people chew the caviar grains or swallow them whole. However, the best way to fully appreciate the complex flavors of caviar is to burst the grains against the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue. This releases the flavors.
- Eating & Drinking: It is suggested to serve Karat Caviar on original Russian blini with a dollop of crème fraiche. Buttered slices of lightly toasted white bread are another recommended accompaniment. A small glass of iced vodka or dry sparkling white wine are the ideal companions to caviar. It is best to avoid any bold-flavored accompaniments that will distract your palate from the superb taste of Karat Caviar.
