As the Cannes Film Festival has just closed its 76th edition and the red carpet dazzled with every step up the stairs, we are launching our series: If caviar were… In the world of cinema, personification is often used to give life to inanimate objects or abstract concepts.
Now, let us imagine that caviar, the symbol of culinary quintessence, comes to life as a movie star. Sit back and enjoy…
- Beluga Caviar: could be associated with the legendary Elizabeth Taylor. Powerful and exquisite, just like the Oscar-winning actress’s performances. One never forgets the first tasting of Beluga, with its shades of grey reminiscent of the magnetic blue eyes of “Liz.” Beluga, from the Huso Huso sturgeon, is the most prestigious, sought-after, and expensive caviar in the world, harvested only after no fewer than eighteen years.
- Ossetra Caviar: could be compared to Grace Kelly. With its subtle flavor, balancing an iodized backbone, nutty notes, and marine accents, Ossetra has the grace and elegance of Grace Kelly, both actress and Princess of Monaco, who captivated audiences with her aristocratic charm. A true gourmet, she had a guilty weakness for caviar…
- Sevruga Caviar: If Sevruga were a Hollywood actress, it could be compared to Greta Garbo. As coveted and sensual as “The Divine,” also mysterious, being the rarest in farming today, extinct in the wild. On the palate, its small grains burst, delivering a subtle blend of complexity and intensity, much like the icon who mesmerized audiences with her beauty and aura.
- Daurenki® Caviar: could be compared to Audrey Hepburn. Golden and luminous, with a firm texture, delicate on the palate, offering flavors ranging from dried fruits to roasted notes. Tasting Daurenki is a moment of grace, evoking Audrey Hepburn’s timeless charm and refined glamour, especially in the iconic Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
- Baeri Baïka® Caviar: could be associated with Ingrid Bergman. With its firm texture and bold taste, these small dark brown grains delight the palate with iodine dominance and mineral notes. This versatility recalls the intensity of Ingrid Bergman’s performances in unforgettable films such as Casablanca by Michael Curtiz, alongside Humphrey Bogart, as well as Hitchcock’s Spellbound, Notorious, and Under Capricorn.
