Flavor Notes

Tradition Prestige caviar is renowned for its large, silky eggs and elegant flavor notes. The creamy, buttery flavors are the first to arrive on the palate, followed by hints of salinity that add a subtle, oceanic dimension. The caviar finishes with an impressive, clean taste that lingers in the mouth, highlighting its luxurious quality.

Calvisius' flagship caviar is the pure expression of caviar making legacy and craftsmanship, resulting in a delicate texture and ultimate freshness.

Recommended Pairings

Brut Champagne or Satèn (premium Franciacorta) bubbles. Serve on mother of pearl spoons as-is, to enjoy it in its purity. Or, harness Tradition’s buttery creaminess atop avocado or boiled potatoes to let its luxurious notes come forward.
