Caviar de Neuvic Oscietre Signature

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Oscietre caviar, traditionally associated with the Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), is celebrated for its larger grains and pronounced aromatic profile. In this Signature selection, the pearls are beautifully defined—firm, rounded, and luminous, with shades ranging from warm bronze to deep amber-grey.

The texture is precise and structured. Each pearl offers a gentle resistance before releasing its flavor in a slow, unfolding arc. The first taste carries a refined salinity, balanced and clean, quickly followed by rich notes of toasted walnut and fresh cream. Compared to Baeri, Oscietre reveals a broader aromatic spectrum—there is depth here, a slightly earthy undertone layered beneath butter and almond.

As it develops on the palate, subtle hints of dried fruit and mineral linger, creating a finish that is long and quietly powerful. The sensation is more architectural than fleeting. It builds, expands, and settles into a savory persistence that defines its prestige.

Oscietre Signature is composed, confident, and unmistakably grand without excess.

Pairings and Suggestions

For elegant serving:

Present simply on warm blinis with a restrained touch of crème fraîche

Spoon over lightly scrambled eggs finished with butter

Add a delicate quenelle atop scallop crudo for a refined amuse-bouche

For beverages:

Champagne Brut or Blanc de Blancs to highlight its minerality

Oscietre benefits from simplicity. Let its structure and length unfold naturally.
