Smoked Salmon on top of bread and cream cheese by Caviar Express

Our hand trimmed, presliced Smoked Scottish Salmon comes from one of the few smokehouses left in the world that still smokes salmon in a traditional open fire smokehouse. This very unique smoking method produces a delicate and clean flavor that cannot be replicated in modern electric smoking kilns. Although this is a costly and time consuming technique, you will surely appreciate the difference.

Only the finest fresh Scottish salmon is selected, which is then hand cured with a blend of pure sea salt and brown sugar. The salmon is then smoked in small batches using oak shavings from age old whisky barrels imported from the highlands of Scotland. Once the salmon has been smoked it is fully trimmed by hand, sliced and vacuum packed fresh for your enjoyment.

Caviar Blinis with Smoked Salmon, creme fraiche and caviar on top

The delicate taste of caviar has traditionally been enjoyed on its own. However, Caviar Blinis with a touch of crème fraîche will add to the experience without overwhelming the caviar.

Our French caviar blinis are almost two inches in diameter each and come in a pack of sixteen. Made from wheat flour, water and vegetable oils, blinis have a dough-like taste similar to a crisp pancake. Once heated in the oven, grill, or toaster, the Blinis make for a perfect accompaniment for all types of caviar.

Crème Fraîche is a delicious French cream similar to the popular sour cream. Possessing a thicker texture and more gentle tang, it serves as a fresh, complementary bed upon which caviar can be served. Atop a blini, crème fraîche paired with smoked salmon and a touch of caviar creates an unforgettable appetizer for a party or intimate gathering.

Our 7.5oz. Tin of Bellwether Farms Crème Fraîche has a smooth texture featuring a restrained nutty flavor and appealing tart edge. The gentle flavors balance with the salty taste of caviar without overtaking your palate.

The exquisite taste, silky texture, and versatility that Foie Gras offers explains why this product has been enjoyed all over the world since ancient Egyptian times. A bite of this heavenly delicacy is a moment of pure enjoyment and culinary pleasure.

Our 5.1oz. tins of French RougiE Goose Foie Gras arrive fully prepared and ready to eat. Goose foie gras is typically softer and more cream-like than duck foie gras, which has a stronger taste. Presliced, it is typically served on lightly toasted bread and of course, with champagne.

Foie gras (pronounced fwa gra) is French for "fat liver" and is a popular delicacy of French cuisine. Foie gras is duck or goose liver that has been fattened by gavage. Foie gras has a velvety and meaty texture and is often used in patés or terrines.

Mother of Pearl Caviar Spoon, Caviar Spoon

Sensuous and delicate, caviar requires a tiny non-reactive spoon that imparts no unwanted scent or flavor. Our Mother of Pearl Caviar Spoon fills the bill perfectly. The elegant 4"-long spoons are custom made exclusively for caviar.

Mother of pearl, also sometimes known as Nacre, is an organic composite material that forms the inner lining of the shell of several types of mollusks. Its strong and resilient characteristics, along with its glowing, iridescent appearance, make it the ideal finishing touch to any caviar spread. With the use of a delicate hand, the organic, non-metallic nature of the material leaves the taste and texture of the caviar unaltered.
