Baeri Royal comes from the very best European sturgeon farms. This caviar is subject to strict selection so as to supply only the largest (exceeding 2.6mm) and most beautiful grains. Baeri (Acipenser baerii) caviar is the best-known farmed caviar in Europe. It is found in Spain, Germany and Italy – in France it is known as Aquitaine caviar. Native of Siberia, this species of sturgeon (whose weight rarely exceeds 10kg) has adapted extremely well to being farmed in European latitudes. Baeri caviar is similar to Sevruga, but is less expensive and loses little in terms of appearance and taste. Its medium-sized eggs are darkly coloured; they burst open when eaten, leaving a sweet taste of hazelnut.
Caviar is kept refrigerated between 0° and 4° C (for not more than 3 months) and is always ready to eat. Once the tin is opened, caviar rapidly loses its quality. So have just enough for all your guests: allowing 20 - 50 grams per person.
When serving and eating caviar, always use mother-of-pearl cutlery and not metal. Serve very cold, preferably on a bed of ice.
Do not add either lemons or gherkins. Caviar is best appreciated on its own. With the caviar in your mouth, take your time. Your taste buds are mainly on your tongue, so crush the grains slowly against the palate and let them melt.
As for quantity, a few grams per person is enough. While a 100 gram box (or even 250 grams) creates an impression, a mere 30 grams between a few blinis would be a wonderful appetiser !
