Flavor Notes
Tradition Royal is renowned for its very large, silky eggs and elegant flavor notes. The creamy, buttery flavors are the first to arrive on the palate, followed by hints of salinity that add a subtle, oceanic dimension. The caviar finishes with an impressive, clean taste that lingers briefly in the mouth, highlighting its luxurious quality.
The Royal grade features a large roe with delicate nuances of the sea, and a round, elegant flavor, peak expression of Calvisius caviar making legacy and craftsmanship, resulting in a delicate texture and ultimate freshness.
Recommended Pairings
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.
