The Beauty QueenFrom $150
Sevruga caviar is savoured for its exceptional delicacy of flavour, which is balanced by a distinctive, oceanic freshness. It’s the one that connoisseurs know the best.
The Sevruga sturgeon is recognised by its star-patterned skin. Its glistening silvery eggs range from pale slate to charcoal in hue and measure just 2mm in diameter.
Know your caviar:
Small but mighty, the Sevruga only grow to around 25kg – making it the most diminutive of all the sturgeon species.
HOW TO ENJOY
To experience its wild taste to the full, Volzhenka’s fine caviar should be served, then savoured, straight from the fridge.
Take a small mother of pearl spoon (a silver one tampers with the taste) and allow the elemental favours of the most exquisite caviar explode in your palate. While enjoyment of food should always be a matter of personal preference, we’re convinced that the beauty and purity of Volzhenka’s wild taste is best experienced without accompaniment.
To extend your appreciation, try our caviar on warm white buttered toast, or smothered onto large traditional blinis, rolled like pancakes, together with a glass of cold champagne, a lighter-bodied Chablis or other white Burgundy or top-grade freezer-cold vodka.
