Caspian Monarque Baeri Prive Caviar

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Baeri Caviar comes from the Acipenser Baerii Sturgeon, which originates from the mythical Caspian Sea. These sturgeons are usually six to eight years when they produce their roe.

Caspian Monarque is proud to offer authentic Baeri Prive Caviar, from sturgeons raised in the legendary Caspian Sea, which has the highest quality Baeri. This Iranian caviar comes in large grains with color that ranges from dark grey to pure black. These pearls are sensually smooth, with a mild taste that bursts on the tongue to reveal a fresh, creamy flavor that has woody, iodized notes.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

The Caspian Monarque Baeri Prive Caviar is a luxurious delicacy, one that deserves to be enjoyed in its fullest. And the best way to enjoy it is as simply as possible. Scoop it straight out of its tin using a spoon made of bone, wood, or mother-of-the-pearl. Don’t use a metal spoon; metal will interfere with its quality and flavor. You can garnish it with some fresh herbs or lemon wedges. And if you prefer to pair it with other foods instead, it’s wonderful with eggs and smoked salmon.

For drinks, pair with an extra brut Champagne, or a Russian vodka.

TO ITS ROOTS

Iranian caviar has been the stuff of myth and legend, rare and difficult to find and obtain. The market is saturated with aqua-farmed caviar, and the flavors and nutrients the Caspian Sea provides are lost.

But Caspian Monarque is changing that. They are among the few that farm their sturgeons in the Caspian Sea, in their original waters, where they first swam almost 250 million years ago. They hold all control, ensuring quality from reproduction to breeding, to roe selection, to production, and to export. Each stage is critically assessed and meticulously overlooked.

This is what sets Caspian Monarque apart: sustainably bred sturgeons in their natural habitat, a guarded traditional Persian recipe, and the latest technology. To taste is to know the difference.

Storage Instructions

Keep your unopened tin of caviar refrigerated at a chilly -1 to 4°C for up to 4 weeks. Take it out of the fridge 10 to 15 minutes before serving. If you’re setting it out for a long cocktail party or dinner service, leave it in the original tin, nestled in a bowl of crushed ice to keep it cool. An open tin of caviar must be consumed within 2 to 3 days.
