Arenkha/Avruga Caviar, 55g

Product Information

All in all, it’s a pretty decent debut for a young team. But, Caviar has some ways to go before truly grasping how to showcase the delicate differences between the different sturgeon roe (and I don’t mean just accentuating the flavours). With more practice and research, hopefully the team gets more confident in execution and presentation, particularly crucial given that they’re in full view of guests at the counter who are paying top dollar for the experience. To prepare: Caviar is best served well chilled so keep it in the fridge and remove just before serving. Three of the most well-known varieties are available belgua, sevruga and oscietra and they are produced from different species of sturgeon. A more economical alternative to sturgeon's eggs is lumpfish roe which is mainly produced in Denmark and has a similar appearance to caviar. Lumpfish roe and caviar are both sold in tins or jars.

Only tins approved after tasting are stamped ‘ Kaviari' and air-flown from China to Paris where caviar master Bruno Higos personally sees to the maturation of the sturgeon eggs through a process called refining. Still, there are surprises to be had in Kasim’s degustation presentation. A burrata whipped with honey and verjus served in a caviar tin then covered in thin slices of green grapes and Canadian uni is one of the dishes without sturgeon roe. Acting as a palate cleanser almost, it’s a creamy pudding of salinity, sweetness and tartness. Guests are invited to wait in a small lobby before sanitising their hands as they enter the restaurant.

Serve it on thin toast with a little butter or on blinis (small Russian pancakes) with a little soured cream as an appetiser and offer with a glass or two of chilled sparkling wine or a glass of vodka before a special meal. Other popular accompaniments are chopped onion, chopped hard-boiled egg white or a squeeze of lemon juice. To make the caviar go a little further, serve a selection of toppings such as smoked salmon with creme fraiche or prawns with cream cheese on the toast or blinis
