Royal Baerii caviar is a type of high-quality caviar made from the Baerii sturgeon (Acipenser baerii), which is farmed predominantly in Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe. This caviar is known for its fine texture and rich flavour, making it a popular choice among connoisseurs.

Characteristics of Royal Baerii Caviar:

  • Appearance: It typically has medium-sized eggs that are dark grey to black in colour, with a glossy, firm texture.
  • Flavor: The flavour profile is rich and nutty, with a slightly briny taste and a smooth finish.
  • Texture: The eggs are firm and pop delicately when bitten, providing a luxurious mouthfeel.

How to Serve Royal Baerii Caviar:

  1. Traditional Service:

    • Serve caviar chilled, on a bed of crushed ice to keep it at the right temperature.
    • Use non-metallic utensils, such as mother-of-pearl spoons, to avoid altering the taste of the caviar.
  2. With Blinis or Toast Points:

    • Serve caviar with blinis (small Russian pancakes) or lightly toasted bread points.
    • Accompany with crème fraîche, sour cream, or unsalted butter for a classic touch.
  3. On Oysters:

    • Add a spoonful of Royal Baerii caviar on top of fresh, shucked oysters for a decadent combination.
  4. As a Garnish:

    • Use caviar as a garnish for dishes such as scrambled eggs, sushi, or deviled eggs to enhance flavour and presentation.
  5. With Chilled Vodka:

    • Pair caviar with chilled vodka or champagne for an elegant and traditional tasting experience.

Storing Royal Baerii Caviar:

  • Refrigeration: Keep caviar in the coldest part of the refrigerator, ideally at a temperature between 0°C and 4°C (32°F to 39°F).
  • Shelf Life: Once opened, consume the caviar within a few days. Unopened, it can be stored for several weeks to months, depending on the specific packaging and production date.
  • Freezing: While not recommended as it can affect the texture, some caviar can be frozen if necessary. However, it's best enjoyed fresh.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Caviar is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamins A and D, and minerals like iron and calcium. It offers various health benefits, including supporting heart health and improving skin condition.

Royal Baerii caviar is a luxurious and versatile ingredient that adds sophistication to any dish. Its refined flavor and texture make it a favorite for both special occasions and gourmet dining.
