Calvisius Tradition Elite
- Species: Pacific White sturgeon, Acipenser trasmontanus

- Roe diameter: extra-large, 3.2 mm and up
- Color: dark grey, ebony, amber tones
- Texture: silky and light with exceptionally large sized roe
- Character: perfectly elegant and balanced
- Aromatic notes: slightly fruity with soft nutty and buttery notes, reminiscent of the most delicate nuances of the sea.
Flavor notes: Tradition Elite has very large eggs that are silky and have elegant notes. Creamy, buttery flavors arrive first as hints of seaweed yield to a long, impressive clean finish. Tradition Elite exhibits deep umami flavors with added nuttiness.
The taste of this caviar is perfectly balanced with round notes, combining delicate nuances of the sea with light, buttery flavors of pastry.
Recommended combination: Brut Champagne or Satèn (premium Franciacorta) bubbles. Serve on mother of pearl spoons as-is, to enjoy it in its purity. Or, harness Tradition’s buttery creaminess atop avocado or boiled potatoes to let its luxurious notes come forward.

WOW! magnificent pairing, Randall!
Our black pearls could not have dreamed of a better bubbly counterpart - well done!

Arrived quickly and well packed, we put in the the fridge for Easter but ended up making an ordinary day a little extraordinary. Excellent quality; taste, texture, and aroma. I look forward to ordering again!
