NOIR CAVIAR
PURVEYORS OF PREMIUM CAVIAR
Raised wild in the rivers and lakes of the United States, domestic wild caviar has a very devoted following.
Paddlefish Roe
Light to dark gray-black to greenish bead with a buttery texture and intensely strong but smooth, earthy taste.
Hackleback Roe
Tiny, jet-black to brown beads with a briny zest. Dry, strong flavor and firm beads. Harvested from wild sturgeon
caught in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois. Specifically for customers who request it and/or already use
paddlefish. Limited availability.
Caviar is highly prized and sought after by gourmet food lovers worldwide but overfishing has pushed wild sturgeon to the brink of extinction. Newly developed, environmentally sustainable methods for farmed sturgeon may be the answer to protecting the world's populations of wild sturgeon. Sturgeon farms are having great success with highly efficient filtration systems using fresh spring water resulting in sustainable caviar whose taste rivals that of wild-caught. Raising sturgeon under strict guidelines, in ideal sustainable conditions, and control over the water conditions, give farms more control over the finished product.
Classic Transmontanous Caviar (California White Sturgeon)
Classic Transmontanous, has a slightly firm but delicate texture with fine distinguishable roe. The flavor ranges from buttery to nutty with a touch of sweetness and can be compared to the taste of the Caspian Sea wild ossetra caviar.
