ORIGIN
The origin of
the consumption of caviar goes back to the time of the Czars, but it
was not until the decade of 1,920 that this product did arrive at
Western Europe thanks to the Armenian Petrossian brothers. Fleeing
from the Bolshevik revolution they settled in Paris
where they missed caviar. They decided to import it. In the
beginning of the Thirties, they had achieved to extend its
consumption and knowledge all over Europe.
Caviar comes
from the female of the sturgeon. Caviar Nacarii has recovered this
animal in the Garona River, where it extinguished at the beginning
of the last century.
The species that has been chosen is Acipenser Baeri.
Grown in captivity, this species produces the best breeding sturgeon
caviar.
