{"product_id":"imperial-oscietra-caviar-black-river","title":"Black River Imperial Oscietra Caviar","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack River is widely regarded as the finest sturgeon farm in the Americas, and Imperial is the top of its three Oscietra grades. The farm was founded in the early 1990s as the first sturgeon farm in the southern hemisphere, using brood stock that originally came from the Caspian Sea, and it produces nothing but Oscietra.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fish are raised in a remote, unspoilt corner of Uruguay. For their first four years they swim in netted enclosures in Lake Baygorria on the Rio Negro, before moving to raceway basins fed by around 50 million gallons of river water a day. Output is kept to roughly four tonnes of caviar a year, which tells you everything about the farm's priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the tin you get large, beautifully defined eggs of 3 to 3.2mm, ranging from warm brown through to pale grey. They are firm, they pop cleanly and the flavour is rich and buttery with the gentle nuttiness Oscietra is loved for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black River farm, Uruguay, CITES certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Imperial, the highest grade the farm produces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePearl:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 3.2mm, brown to light grey, firm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e rich, buttery, lightly nutty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurious how it compares with our Italian Oscietra?

Once opened, enjoy within 48 hours. Take the tin out about ten minutes before serving, set it on crushed ice and use a mother of pearl, horn or glass spoon, as metal can leave a faint tinny note on the eggs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIngredients and allergens\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSturgeon roe (\u003cstrong\u003efish\u003c\/strong\u003e), salt, E285 (borax).
