Imperiale
Limited Edition | Second and Third Ovulations.
Ancient techniques evoke the past and awaken our senses when our very mature sturgeon females reach their second or third ovulation. The scheduling of the decades preceding the extraction and increasingly virtuous research have allowed us to obtain this extraordinary caviar.
It is certainly one of the tastiest and most distinctive, with compact grains ranging from amber to a golden hue. It has a fabulous bouquet of olfactory and gustatory sensations, an excellent sapidity characterized by an incomparable sweet note.
Superior Caviar
Sturgeons that have already produced eggs which were then reabsorbed, the same will ovulate only after 2/4 years depending on the species reaching the apex with precious eggs of superior size and brilliant colors.
Imperiale gives off its best when tasted alone, as tradition dictates, however it can be experimented according to one’s palate in countless combinations.
Specifications
The 500 gr. and 1 kg. size formats are tin packages in which the product matures. For this reason the tin is not air tightly sealed, making it possible for the liquid to seep out naturally.

THE RITUAL OF EXCELLENCE
The ritual of excellence
Vivari must be experienced through precise gestures, capable of respecting its natural elegance.
How to open the tin
Use the appropriate tin opener. Cut the warranty seal on both sides. Then, pry it open until completely open. The caviar must appear intact, shiny, and compact.
The tasting
A pure tasting is recommended, avoiding accompaniments that distract from its true essence. Use mother-of-pearl, bone, or neutral material spoons. Metal can alter the taste of the pearls. The ideal experience is a vertical, cold tasting, preferably on a bed of ice.

With its velvety and delicate taste, the caviar tastes best when tasted alone, where it will “literally melt in your mouth” or it can be paired with neutral flavors, such as boiled eggs, egg whites or mashed potatoes.
Historically, in Russia, the best pairing for caviar is with Vodka, thanks to its neutral taste and to its capacity of ” cleansing the palate”.
The most refined palates prefer Champagne, but there are valid alternatives!
Any classic method, Italian or not, produced in its own style, can be perfectly matched to the precious pearls.
In fact, thanks to its own perlage and acidity, it will be able to contrast and cleanse the palate from the characteristic fatness of caviar. Obviously, some adjustments are necessary: it should be matched with more full bodied wines to caviar types having a more intense and complex taste.
As for still white wines, it is suggested to prefer the dry ones, taut and vertical, with good minerals and average sapidity. It is better to avoid full bodied white wines which have been aged in wood and having aromatic and oxidized notes.
Red wines are not particularly recommended, among them it is always better to opt for a younger style, with less bodied wines, to be served chilled.
Passito wines are to be avoided; in case caviar is consumed without meals, it could be a good idea to match it with a good tea which is not aromatic.
