A Gourmet Encounter with Attilus Caviar: How to Enjoy Caviar at Home

Attilus Caviar, where Attilus means “great sturgeon” in latin – is dedicated to raising the world’s finest sturgeon in a sustainable and ecologically manner. Having cemented themselves over the years, Attilus is now the name that gourmet chefs and connoisseurs associate with exquisite caviar and the finest cuts of sturgeon. We received our delivery within 24 hours of ordering and it arrived chilled, fresh and packed in quality styrofoam packaging. It looked very smart indeed!

Attilus create their own caviar at a fishery in Jessen, Germany and are one of the few producers in the world offering “real” Oscietra caviar to customers. We popped the pots of caviar on ice while we waited for our Champagne to chill and prepared our accompaniments. We were trying two caviar’s from the range, the Royal Siberian Caviar and the Royal Oscietra, the latter being my favourite.

Now you’ve probably enjoyed caviar in restaurants before, most likely served on top of dishes – but what do you do when you want to enjoy this luxury food in the comfort of your own home? Well there really is no rules, but there is a little etiquette which is in place to make sure you can enjoy caviar at its finest. Always keep it nicely chilled at the back of your fridge, serve on ice when outside of it, invest in a mother of pearl spoon (to not impart any flavours) and stock up on a some pretty presentation dishes (the latter not mandatory).

If you’re not planning on serving your caviar on top of anything and simply want to enjoy it in its purest form, then eating off of your own skin is the perfect way. Again, the human skin doesn’t spoil the flavours of the caviar and so pop a little on your hand and wash down with a glass of chilled Champagne. Did you know caviar is also very healthy for you? Widely used in face creams and lotions it helps produce some of the best cosmetics in the world.

We decided to enjoy the caviar in our favourite way, serving on slices of toasted brown bread, a good helping of cream cheese and the freshest smoked salmon from our local fishmongers. It’s also worth noting that Attlius produce a completely sustainable, fully traceable caviar. Highly qualified researchers and biologists carefully monitor these fish around-the-clock, meticulously calibrating their feeding plans to provide the perfect nutritional balance through each and every step of the sturgeon rearing process.

Pour yourself another glass of Champagne (vodka also pairs very well) and then it’s time to enjoy all of that preparation and savour this incredible caviar. You really don’t need to spend £1000’s of pounds on Beluga caviar to get a taste of the real deal as Attilus Caviar prove just that in the taste. It’s rich, salty, delicious and I highly recommend it. I’ll most certainly be ordering in the future, wooing guests at my dinner parties.
