The Caviar
Supérieur is the gentler, more contemplative face of Prunier’s Osciètre range. After twelve years of meticulous sturgeon breeding at the Manufacture Prunier, it emerges as a caviar of quiet sophistication: light brown-grey pearls with a creamy texture, and a lightly salted profile.
That restraint is the point. With so little salt in the way, the aromatic persistence carries uninterrupted — which is why Supérieur tends to be the choice of the most discerning and subtle palates rather than those chasing intensity. Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, raised and prepared in France.

Questions
Is Supérieur milder than Noir?
Gentler, yes. Noir is silky with a delicate iodised edge; Supérieur is lighter in colour and lightly salted, so its aromatic length comes through with less in front of it.
Does light salting affect keeping?
It means the caviar is at its best fresh. Keep it refrigerated and unopened until serving, and finish it the same day once the tin is open.
What should I serve alongside?
As little as possible — the whole character here is subtlety, and blinis and crème fraîche will cover it. Straight from the tin over ice is the honest way to taste it.
