Calvisius

Calvisius Caviar Tradition Royal

White Sturgeon Caviar (Acipenser trasmontanus), from Italian aquaculture.

Tradition Royal is a caviar obtained from the White Sturgeon, a species native to the Pacific Ocean, found along the North American west coast from Alaska to Southern California.

It is one of the longest-living sturgeons and can reach up to one hundred years of age. It weighs 800 kg (1760 lbs) and can be up to 6 m (19 ft) long. This lean fish with a high protein content is particularly refined, and so is its exquisite large roe, which has a diameter of 3.0 to 3.2 millimetres and is dark grey to black in colour.

The taste of this caviar is perfectly balanced with round notes that combine delicate marine nuances with light, buttery flavours of pastry. This caviar appeals to the most demanding palates, regardless of age and culture.

To truly appreciate its character, it should be enjoyed on its own or as part of an exciting tasting with other types of caviar. It tastes best in combination with a Brut Champagne (dry) or a silky sparkling wine.
The harvest time for this caviar is about 14 to 15 years.
