About Keta Salmon Caviar 100g
Red caviar at its very best. Keta is roe from the wild chum salmon, caught in Alaskan waters on the way to their spawning grounds, and it is widely regarded as the finest of all salmon caviars. This is Grade 1, which means the largest, brightest and most even eggs.
The colour is a vivid red orange and the eggs are big enough to pop properly on the tongue, releasing a clean, salty burst of the ocean. The roe is pasteurised in its glass jar, which lengthens its life and gives the eggs that satisfying snap. It is a firm favourite in our office and a lovely, affordable way to bring colour and drama to a plate.

Questions

Anything else you would like to know? Our team is always happy to help.
What is keta caviar?
Keta is the roe of the wild chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), widely regarded as the finest salmon caviar. Ours is caught in Alaskan waters on the way to the spawning grounds.
Is salmon roe the same as caviar?
Strictly, caviar means sturgeon roe, so salmon roe is often called red caviar. It has much larger eggs, a brighter colour and a clean, salty pop.
What does Grade 1 salmon roe mean?
Grade 1 is the top grade, with the largest, brightest and most even eggs.
How long does salmon roe last once opened?
Keep the opened jar chilled with the lid on and enjoy it within a few days. Pasteurising in the jar gives it a longer life before opening.
