Eurocaviar’s Black Arënkha Caviar is a refined take on traditional smoked herring roe, presented in its striking dark pearls rather than as a paste. Gently smoked and lightly salted, the roe retains its individual texture, offering a delicate pop and a clean, savoury finish.
The flavour is elegant and restrained — softly smoky, subtly briny and balanced, with none of the harshness sometimes associated with stronger fish roe. The texture is where it truly shines: small, glossy beads that burst pleasantly on the palate, delivering layers of sea-salt freshness and gentle smoke.
Serving suggestion:
Spoon over blinis with crème fraîche and a touch of finely diced shallot, or use to finish devilled eggs for a smoky, saline lift. It’s also excellent atop warm waxy potatoes with sour cream and fresh dill.
Wine match:
A dry Riesling (Clare Valley works beautifully) enhances the salinity and freshness, while a chilled Brut Champagne-style sparkling brings brightness and contrast to the gentle smoke
