Description

Orders received after 11AM EST Thursday through 11AM EST Sunday will ship on Monday for Tuesday delivery.

Flavor notes:

Calvisius' Tradition Prestige has large eggs that are silky and have elegant notes. Creamy, buttery flavors arrive first as hints of seaweed yield to an impressive, clean finish. Tradition Prestige is an exemplary caviar that satisfies the most diverse palates of any age or culture. The Tradition Prestige caviar has a creamy texture with excellent caviar egg structure — smooth, buttery and bright, emphasized by large pearls. The fish is mature at 12 years, but Calvisius waits until the fish are 15 years old to extract the perfect caviar.

Recommended combination:

Brut Champagne or Satèn (premium Franciacorta) bubbles. Serve on mother of pearl spoons as-is, to enjoy it in its purity. Or, harness Tradition’s buttery creaminess atop avocado or boiled potatoes to let its luxurious notes come forward.

From the producers:

Pacific White sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) is a species that inhabits the Pacific Coast from Alaska to Baja California. White sturgeon like to live in soft bottoms of estuaries, where the salinity of the water is higher. White sturgeon are known to live long lives – up to one hundred years – and are fattier than other sturgeon, with high protein content meat and exquisite eggs. Known for having four to eight bony plates in two rows on its back, the White Sturgeon migrates up complex river systems to breed. Pacific White sturgeon have been successfully bred by Calvisius in Italy since 1981.
