Seven Steps

1. Farming

Luxury begins at the source. Our caviar is cultivated with utmost care in our own farms along the Caspian Sea or sourced from meticulously vetted partner producers. With complete oversight of water quality, nutrition, and welfare, we guarantee consistency and an unparalleled standard.

Caviar experts carefully selecting the finest sturgeon for harvest.

2. Selection

Seasoned specialists evaluate each sturgeon, from the age of two, identifying those that will yield the most exceptional caviar. Years of expertise allow our teams to recognise optimal maturation, health, and habitat conditions for every fish.

3. Harvesting

Harvesting is carried out as a careful, artisanal ritual. Trained experts with deep knowledge of the species ensure that every step respects the integrity of the roe and the wellbeing of the stock.

4. Washing

Freshly gathered roe is rinsed with pure, chilled water. This gentle cleanse removes impurities while preserving the natural structure, sheen, and resilience of each pearl.

5. Salting

A minimal measure of salt is introduced to enhance character and longevity without masking subtle aromatics. Balancing flavour and preservation is a signature of our maison's savoir-faire.

6. Tinning

Once seasoned, the caviar is packed entirely by hand into custom tins that safeguard its freshness. Each vessel is sealed to maintain texture, aroma, and maturity as it continues to refine.

7. Transferring

From intimate gatherings to grand occasions, every tin is inspected once more before leaving our atelier. The result is a product that arrives in optimal condition, with a guaranteed shelf life of at least three months.
