Oscietre Caviar - Number 2

Each tin is full to the brim with fresh caviar from Italy It has a characteristic nutty taste We suggest around 30-50g per person If caviars were Bordeaux wines, Oscietre might be considered a Deuxieme Cru - behind beluga, ahead of almost everything else. That's not the reason we call it Number 2, but it's a happy coincidence. Our Caviar Number 2 is a rare delicacy from Guldenstaedtii or Osceitre sturgeon, produced by our friends in Italy who have supplied our caviar for over ten years. In the days when caviar came from wild fish, oscietre was unusually variable in terms of size, flavour and colour. At its most striking, oscietre could be bright gold and at the very least it came with a brown tinge. You'll find such a tinge in Number 2, and also the characteristic nutty trace in its taste.  50g would give you two decent servings or could be spread over about 15 handsome canapes....
