This two-pack lets you indulge in the classic charms of top-of-the-line caviar while still being a bit adventurous. Celebrity chef Jacques Pépin prefers the firmly textured richness of pressed caviar. Known as payusnaya in Russian culinary tradition, it combines nutty California White Sturgeon, briny Paddlefish, and creamy Hackleback in a concentrated, cohesive disc ideally suited to molding, slicing, shaving with a vegetable peeler or lightly cooking. His wife Gloria prefers the gunmetal gray beads of Paddlefish caviar, with a saline snap fit for smoked seafood, shellfish and a well-chilled glass of Muscadet.

Here's what you get:

  • 1 oz of Paddlefish caviar
  • 1 oz of pressed caviar

Caviar for Two

The beauty (and fun) of pressed caviar is that it invites you to break the rules. Instead of treating it as a fragile delicacy, throw it in the freezer for a few minutes until it gets slightly firm, then use a vegetable peeler to curl of ribbons of roe as a garnish for pasta, risotto, or egg dishes.
