Smoked Salmon on bread with cream cheese

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, we assure you will 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.

Smoked Salmon is high in Omega-3 fatty acids which are essential to good health. It has been shown that increasing Omega-3 in the diet can help lower cholesterol levels. Additionally, our Smoked Salmon is fully Kosher certified and contains no preservatives or artificial ingredients whatsoever.

Caviar Blinis with Smoked Salmon and Caviar on it

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, thinner form of sour cream first developed by the French. It has a slight hold and tanginess because it contains cultures. Crème Fraîche can be used as a topping, in sauces, or in a variety of other applications, and many prefer it to the standard and more commonly available sour cream because of its creamy texture.

Our 7.5oz. Tin of Bellwether Farms Crème Fraîche has a smooth texture featuring a rich, nutty flavor with an appealing tart edge. It is the customary complement to blinis and caviar as it balances out the saltiness of the roe.

The exquisite taste, silky texture, and versatility of preparations 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 French RougiE Goose Foie Gras comes in a 5.1oz tin and is 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, 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.

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.

By removing the outer layer of certain shells an iridescent shimmering lining is revealed known as the Mother of Pearl (so named as it is used to seed cultured pearl). This spectacular lining together with its ability to be easily carved makes mother of pearl popular in the making of jewelry, ornaments and inlays.
