✨A lot of wonderful things go down in the caviar room on a daily basis. Large format original tins (or OT’s as we call them) are delivered to us straight from the sturgeon farms; they’re stored at a cool 38°, sampled, and then packed into the little gold tins that end up in your kitchens. 🎣Quality control and traceability are the name of the game here. Many players in the caviar market purchase small format tins pre-packed for resale and thus do not have the ability to sample and test every single tin that goes out the door. 🔎Procuring original tins directly from the source gives us 100% traceability this is nearly impossible to find elsewhere in the caviar world. We add a lot number to the bottom of each smaller format tin we pack so if a customer has an issue we can trace back not only to the exact OT, but the exact FISH it came from. 😛We also taste and discuss each caviar before it is repacked, stopping any quality issues before they leave our hands. Plus, this helps us keep super detailed tasting notes on every harvest (the files are in the computer!) Here’s a peek behind the doors of the caviar room to see what handpacking is really all about! #caviar #traceability #transparency #sturgeon #osetra #handmade #aquaculture #chefsroll
