Caviar of Origin
-
The Water
Nestled in the remote mountainous area, surrounded by native bushes and greenlands, natural underground spring water run thru the aquafarm forming heavenly habitat for the sturgeons, mimicking as close to their wild habitat as possible.
-
The Feed
Special formulated feed consisting of krill powder, fish oil and barley etc., ensuring optimal and balanced nutritional uptake of the sturgeons.
-
The Sturgeon
Prestine habitats + balanced nutrition + stress-free lifestyle = sturgeons of optimal health and wellbeing.
No Antibiotics administered.
Sustainability
-
Controlled and Ethical Culling
Culling of sturgeon for caviar production is done in a controlled way to ensure sustainable fish stock for generations to come.
-
Water/Environment Protection
Advanced waste water treatment plant installed at outflow outlet of aquafarm to minimize the impact to the downstream river and surrounding eco system.
-
Minimize Wastage
After caviar extraction, sturgeon meats, cartileges, are sold as by products to minimize wastage.
The Grading
Careful grading takes place first when selecting sturgeons, which are handpicked to check for maturity, size and color of caviar pearls.
Another round of grading takes place just before salt curing to ensure consistency and even-ness of caviar in the batch.
Last round of grading takes place when caviar is packed into mother tins. From there, based on the characteristics of the caviar, each is given an appropriate amount of aging time to reach their optimum state.
Aging for UMAMI
We age our caviar in traditional blue mother tins ranging between 1 month to 4 months pending variety of caviar.
Aging allows fermentation of caviar taking place, breaking down protein into amino acids, delovelping more complex and richer flavors; the caviar would also become more translucent whilst the outer skin retains elasticity.
Achieving a buttery and nutty profile on the palate, with the right balance of floral note, creaminess, saltiness, and ocean flavor, creating the most unique umami experience.
