We introduced the House Selection label over 10 years ago. The idea being that we seek out caviar of exceptional price/quality whatever it may be. If we find one better than what we have, we upgrade, which we have done several times now.
We are very fortunate to be able to source our current House selection from the oldest outdoor farm in France. It is from pure Siberian (Baerii) sturgeon and it is really very good indeed. Plenty of people agree with me and it is now our best seller.
The eggs are similar in size to Oscietra, but are rather darker in colour, some verging towards black. The caviar has a tremendous front-of-mouth flavour so is ideally suited to canapes but is also well suited to being enjoyed at leisure. Best of all, at this price, you can have lots of it!
At the lower end of the price scale, caviar can be rather a disappointing experience as it can be rather bland and tasteless. This is not the case with our House Selection – the only complaint we have received is that it has too much complex flavour for a caviar of this price!
It may be tempting to lament the decline of wild caviar, but instead lets celebrate the rise of sturgeon farming and the improvement in skills and farming techniques. Without such an improvement, it simply would not be possible to offer you caviar of this quality at such a remarkable price.
Sturgeon Roe, Salt, E285.
What is Borax?
Borax, also known as Sodium borate, is a form of salt that is traditionally used in caviar production. It helps in the preservation process, improves consistency and also enhances the flavour.

Caviar Storage:
Please note that all caviar products should be refrigerated upon receipt. Once opened, consume within 48 hours. Caviar can be stored in a domestic fridge from -2c to +4c (the colder and closer to 0c the better!) 4 weeks and more. When storing caviar in your fridge, it is important to store it at the back of the fridge on the bottom shelf where it is coolest and temperature does not fluctuate.
