Sturia Baerii Caviar, Vintage 30g-50g

Sturia Baerii Vintage Caviar is it — from Acipenser baerii sturgeon raised in the Gironde, with small, firm, dark grey eggs and a clean, mineral, fresh flavour of great elegance. Sturia Baerii vintage caviar is the most refined and mineral expression in the range. As a result, Baerii appeals to those who prefer a clean, saline profile over the richer, nuttier character of Oscietra. Furthermore, the Vintage designation indicates a specific year of production. In particular, the small, firm grain of Baerii gives a distinctive pop on the palate and a very long, clean mineral finish.

About Sturia Baerii Vintage Caviar

Sturia is one of France’s most celebrated caviar producers, based in the Gironde estuary of south-west France. In particular, Sturia pioneered sustainable, farmed sturgeon caviar in Europe since the early 2000s. As a result, every tin carries full CITES compliance and complete traceability from farm to tin. Furthermore, Sturia raises its sturgeon in the clean, oxygen-rich waters of the Gironde. This produces caviar of outstanding consistency and quality. However, the finest caviar is never rushed. Sturia’s sturgeon are raised for a minimum of seven years before harvest. This extended timeline develops the complex flavour that defines a great caviar. In particular, the Sturia range spans multiple species and grades, each with a distinct personality. Additionally, Sturia caviar regularly appears at the finest restaurants and at the most celebrated events in France. That commitment to excellence drives every decision Sturia makes. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning palates.

Why Choose Sturia Baerii Vintage Caviar From Us

Serving caviar well requires very little technique. In contrast to almost any other ingredient, caviar needs no accompaniment to be at its finest. As a result, the purest serving method is from the back of the hand or a mother-of-pearl spoon. Furthermore, caviar must never touch metal. Any reactive metal spoon imparts a metallic flavour immediately. However, if accompaniments are wanted, a small blini and a little crème fraîche are the classic choices. A chilled glass of Champagne completes the experience. In particular, serve caviar straight from the fridge on crushed ice to maintain the correct temperature throughout. Moreover, consume within 15 minutes of opening for the finest flavour. Additionally, a small quantity of outstanding caviar always delivers more pleasure than a larger amount of inferior quality. That principle of quality over quantity is the mark of true caviar understanding.

How to Serve Sturia Baerii Vintage Caviar

To get the very best from it:

• Serve straight from the tin on a bowl of crushed ice using only a mother-of-pearl or bone spoon — never metal.
• Place a small quantity on the back of the hand for the purest possible tasting experience before plating.
• Furthermore, serve on small warm blinis with a little crème fraîche for the most classic and satisfying accompaniment.
• Additionally, open the tin 5 minutes before serving to allow the aroma to develop, then serve within 15 minutes.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• A chilled glass of Champagne — the definitive caviar pairing
• Small warm blinis and crème fraîche for the classic tradition
• A mother-of-pearl spoon and nothing else for the purest tasting
• A chilled vodka, a Chablis premier cru or a fine blanc de blancs alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated at 0 to 4°C at all times. Caviar is highly perishable once opened and should be consumed within 15 minutes. Furthermore, an unopened tin keeps well in the coldest part of the fridge until the best-before date on the tin. However, always serve on crushed ice to maintain the correct temperature at table. Delivered chilled and ready to serve.

However you serve it, this product brings a luxury and refinement that only the finest caviar can deliver. Moreover, great caviar always rewards simplicity and the most discerning attention to temperature and service.
