Flavor Notes
Calvisius Black is obtained from White sturgeon roe, resulting in an elegant caviar that features a delicate flavor reminiscent of oysters and nori seaweed, and a clean finish on the palate.
The Black variety is lightly heat treated to expand its versatility and applications in recipes. This variety of caviar best expresses its flavor notes and texture when incorporated in sauces, and delightful recipes. Its versatility makes it the perfect completion to delicious dishes, preserving the aromas of fresh caviar, but boasting a firmer texture.
