Item of the Day – Kentucky Paddlefish Caviar

By | Seafood | No Comments

Kentucky Paddlefish Caviar

Item 48711 – 2 oz. tin

Paddlefish Caviar comes from Kentucky Paddlefish and is one of the entry level roes.  It is often called the first-timers caviar for its bold and earthy flavor.  Nevertheless, it has a delicate butter taste that smooths over the palate.  The grains of American Paddlefish Caviar are of similar size as Sevruga Caviar and their color varies from light gray to chalky black.  They have a very tender and gently enveloping structure.

Item of the Day – Chardonnay Vinegar

By | Gourmet | No Comments

O-Med Chardonnay Vinegar

Item 97380 – 2 Liter

Flavor Notes: Aged 12 months in French oak barrels and processed using the Schützenbach method, O-Med vinegars are characterized by a soft acidity. The production method lets the alcohol transform into acid while the other aromatic compounds are preserved in the vinegar. The goal is to be able to taste the essence of the fruit without being overwhelmed by acid.  The chardonnay is slightly sweet and the liquid has a beautiful clear, golden presentation.

Recommendation: We recommend you use this vinegar to marinate fish or on fish carpaccio. It is also great for pickling, on vegetables, and in salads.

Grape Variety: Chardonnay

Acidity: 6º

Origin of grapes: Lérida, Catalonia, Spain

Ellaboration: Aged 12 months in French oak barrels, method Schützenbach.
