Arenkha/Avruga Caviar, 55g

Product Information

On the whole, however, the coupling of flavour profiles tend to fall on the more predictable, safer end of the spectrum such as caviar with seafood (sweet botan ebi tartare) and caviar with something starchy (toast and potato foam). They’re tried-and-tested combinations that bring to mind dishes we’ve eaten before elsewhere and more often than not, get the table’s winning votes. As the saying goes, if the wheel ain’t broken, why fix it? It’s the little things that count as customer confidence is rebuilt and customers start to relax in the post-pandemic world. My friend has eaten at Harborne Kitchen on several occasions and bent my ear about just how good it is. Happy to report, she’s right. Once the eggs of the female sturgeon are deemed to be mature (in terms of colour and size) following a biopsy, they are manually extracted, weighed, strained, washed, drained and, most importantly, salted.

Like cheese and ham, the refining stage gives personality to the final product,” Macouin says, highlighting at the same time that Kaviari’s minimum ageing time is three months.So far, the response to the British Banquet has been wholly positive, according to Booth. However, what do feline experts think? While it’s no surprise that the uber-luxurious product comprise of high-quality ingredients, but do they really provide the benefits for the cost? Caviar from China accounts for about 30% of the world’s production, and its products inevitably land upon the tables of some of the most coveted Michelin-star restaurants around the world, including a clutch located as far east as Singapore. Caviar alternatives are a great way to enjoy the irresistible taste of Caviar, whenever you like, without having to spend a fortune.

Uses: Due to its high cost caviar is usually served in small portions, lumpfish roe can be served in the same way. Serve it on thin toast with a little butter or on blinis (small Russian pancakes) with a little soured cream as an appetiser and offer with a glass or two of chilled sparkling wine or a glass of vodka before a special meal. Other popular accompaniments are chopped onion, chopped hard-boiled egg white or a squeeze of lemon juice. To make the caviar go a little further, serve a selection of toppings such as smoked salmon with creme fraiche or prawns with cream cheese on the toast or blinis The pace slowed as we transitioned to dessert with a British raspberry course featuring buttermilk and wild nettle before Desogus completed his bravura performance with a passion fruit meringue with scintillating coconut ice cream. Sharp and sweet, creamy and delicate, it was a perfectly balanced dessert, gone in just a moment. Harborne Kitchen Guests are invited to wait in a small lobby before sanitising their hands as they enter the restaurant.

All in all, it’s a pretty decent debut for a young team. But, Caviar has some ways to go before truly grasping how to showcase the delicate differences between the different sturgeon roe (and I don’t mean just accentuating the flavours). With more practice and research, hopefully the team gets more confident in execution and presentation, particularly crucial given that they’re in full view of guests at the counter who are paying top dollar for the experience. The post-Covid dining experience has been carefully considered. Instead of printed wine lists, drinks of available using a QR code to avoid the risk of many hands touching one menu. Good food. Good hospitality. Good value for money. Harborne Kitchen justifies the hype. Sample menu

Chef Lepinoy works with our Caviar Master to define the quality he is looking for - the caviar grains have to be a specific size and well-balanced in taste and aroma,” says David Macouin, international sales director of Kaviari. The Paris-based caviar house has been working with Lepinoy for 22 years. Clarifying their role, Macouin says that Kaviari is not a producer or a farmer, but a refiner, who works exclusively with farms to breed endemic species, offering caviar from farmed sturgeons “worthy of the wild caviar of the past.” We offer a wide range of highly affordable and delicious holistic pet foods for cats and dogs, but British Banquet is for those few insanely rich pet owners to whom money is no object,” he said.
