ZwyerCaviar’s first caviar production!

September 8, 2008 · Print This Article

Everything is wrapping up for the big kick start of ZwyerCaviar 1st of October.

Caviar is about trust. But control is better! Last week, my brother (and chief in command), his wife and myself attended the first mayor caviar production for ZwyerCaviar’s Flor de Sal Malassol Oscietra in Uruguay.

The trip was long and rough, but definitely worth it, as we could observe the magic of caviarmaster Roman Alcalde himself (Esturiones del Rio Negro S.A.). Processing sturgeon roes into caviar is of course no witchcraft, but a highly sophisticated skill based on intuition, timing and excellent teamspirit.

Following some close insights I want to share with you. Feel free to comment!

    Congratulations my friend! Well done! I wish you all the sucess with it!!!
    By now in the Gourmet Co. where I’m currently working as Wine Brand Development Manager (again… an Besides my own project) we represent also foods and it includes Marky’s, the caviar we have it in the 3 categories: Sevruga, osetra and beluga. As you know I’m a gourmet and all these things simply drive me crazy!
    Also I believe this kind of blogs with info are important tools to educate consumers and people who’s interest in learn about gourmet products where they come from and its right way of consuption. By now is all.
    Regards,
    G. Corrales
