Champagne & Caviar Tasting Event with Tsar Nicoulai at San Francisco's Whole Foods Potrero Hill

March 18, 2017 in seafood

Writing & Photography by Sandy Daenerys

Tsar Nicoulai Caviar, a world-renowned American caviar brand locally produced outside Sacramento, is now available at Whole Foods Market in Northern California. Originally from San Francisco, Tsar Nicoulai offers artisanal handcrafted white sturgeon caviar, sustainably and naturally sourced, free of antibiotics, GMOs and preservatives.

For the last 30 years, this devoted caviar producer has crafted a fresh and natural product free of the dangers of mercury and produced with a pioneering environmentally-friendly process that takes pressure off wild fish populations. Cultivated in small batches with great attention to detail, Tsar Nicoulai lives by a philosophy of farm to table and respect for nature, yielding a caviar that is of the highest quality and integrity.

Tsar Nicoulai Reserve Caviar

Whole Foods Market is proud to bring this innovator of sustainable and exquisite caviar to the Bay Area and Northern California, offering caviar fans and food enthusiasts the finest and healthiest product available with seven distinct varieties of Tsar Nicoulai Caviar.

At their tasting event in San Francisco's Potrero Hill, Whole Foods Market offered premium quality champagne to pair with their fine selection of Tsar Nicoulai Caviar, offering a wide range of caviar and roe options priced from as low as $14.99 and up to $74.99. Seafood Team Leader, Greg Magnuson, from their Franklin Street location in San Francisco, led the tasting and provided an informative introduction into the world of caviar with delicate pairings of select champagne, wine, and hors d'oeuvres. 

My personal favorites include:

  • Gold Pearl Trout Roe - Smoked Trout: Overall great price and quality. Savory and lightly smoked flavor.

  • Reserve Caviar: Although expensive, the delicately smooth and delightfully creamy and buttery flavor of the caviar was well worth the price.

FOOD PAIRING & UTENSIL RECOMMENDATIONS

Provided by Nutrition Chef Annie Wang

Caviar Pairing Recommendations

  • Plain salted potato chips & crรจme fraรฎche

  • Deviled eggs or boiled eggs

  • Savory panna cotta

  • Shortbread with lemon & sea salt

  • Rice & seaweed (sushi)

  • Japanese-style pickled vegetables

Utensil Recommendations

  • Inert materials such as mother-of-pearl, abalone, gold, animal horn & wood are the preferred material for caviar spoons, although plastic can also be used; they donโ€™t taint the flavor like metal spoons do
