Dom Petroff Royal White Sturgeon Caviar

Briny, Full, and Bold

The roy­al white stur­geon (Acipenser trans­mon­tanus), native to Cal­i­for­nia, is one of the largest fresh-water fish in North Amer­i­ca. It’s roe makes a grand alter­na­tive to the Russ­ian Osse­tra or Baeri caviar.

TAST­ING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Roy­al white stur­geon caviar has a bold nut-but­tery taste and beau­ti­ful col­oration that ranges from amber to dark gold — much lighter and bold­er than the clas­sic white stur­geon caviar. The medi­um-sized pearls are com­pact and firm, con­sis­tent­ly fresh with a clean, del­i­cate­ly creamy fin­ish and hints of fruit.

PREPA­RA­TION OR PAIRINGS

As much as pos­si­ble, don’t use met­al bowls or uten­sils with your caviar to avoid impart­ing a metal­lic taste to it. Choose uten­sils of glass, bone, wood, or plas­tic — or the tra­di­tion­al moth­er-of-pearl or gold. Sim­plic­i­ty is best when it comes to serv­ing caviar. Serve them with toast points or unsalt­ed crack­ers — or scoop them straight out of the tin. Often, caviar is accom­pa­nied by lemon wedges, sour cream, crème fraîche, or crum­bled hard-boiled egg. You can have them over your bli­n­is. Have a shot or five of vod­ka or a few glass­es of dry Cham­pagne on the side.

MADE HEALTHY IN THE US OF A

Vari­ants of white stur­geon caviar are reg­u­lar­ly farmed in the Pacif­ic waters from Ore­gon to Cal­i­for­nia, a chef’s favorite for their roe. These stur­geon typ­i­cal­ly live in slow-mov­ing rivers but can today be found in sus­tain­able aqua farms. This caviar is not only sought for its taste, but for its nutri­tion­al den­si­ty, full of pro­tein and the good kind of fat­ty acids that pro­mote heart and nerve health. It also con­tains vit­a­mins and trace ele­ments of min­er­als that are ben­e­fi­cial to chil­dren, preg­nant women, and the elderly.

Storage Instructions
