Caviale Pisani- Dossi

• THE HERITAGE

Since 1913, the Pisani Dossi nature reserve outside Milan has been a refuge for wildlife and preservation. In 2008 the natural spring water sturgeon caviar farming process was launched anticipating depleating wild stocks and the sturgeon global fishing ban. This organic approach curates natural caviar without additive agents or preservatives for health- conscious consumers and caviar afficionados. 

• THE PROCESS

The driving motivation behind the sustainable aquaculture approach for sturgeon farming at the Pisani Dossi outdoor reserve allows the natural maturity process to take its course, enabling the eggs to grow above its optimum flavour and size (2.6-3.2mm depending on the species). The 5-hectar nature reserve ecosystem replicates the fresh water habitat sturgeon find ideal for reproduction. 

Fish are chosen for caviar selection after 5 years nurturing in clean spring waters. From 8 years onwards the sturgeons are ready for egg collection, when only 3-4% salt content is added for flavouring after careful purification & sifting, achieving a high quality fresh delicate walnut taste. 

• THE TASTE

Siberian Caviar, also called baerii caviar, is produced by Siberian sturgeon (acipenser baerii). It is a fine-grained caviar recognised for its pure, elegant flavour and exquisite length which is both fine and clear. Colours range from black/grey all the way to black/brown tones. 

Osetra Caviar from the Russian sturgeon (acipenser gueldenstadtii) is renowned for its
excellent egg quality. The medium-sized grain of this caviar has a slightly nutty flavour with a mellow length that lingers beautifully on the palate. Colours may range from dark grey and dark olive green to golden brown tones 

Pisani Dossi sturgeons are only selected for caviar once your order has been placed. It is fresh and with a Malossol low content of salt. Its organic flavour - free of preservatives - ensures the full natural flavour is guaranteed for up to 3 month shelf life. All our products are sustainably produced and our caviar is certified by CITES.
