Sterlet, Mottra

The tsar's caviar, revived by a Latvian organic farm. Small, delicate beads with minimal salt and a refined nuttiness. Mottra's no-preservative processing means the flavour is immediate and transparent. A connoisseur's low-salt pick.

Delicate and lightly salted; pairs beautifully with a thin blini. The low-salt format means you need less crème fraîche — let the caviar speak.
