The real secret to enhancing the caviar experience lies in carefully selected accessories to serve it.
At Prunier, every drop of caviar is the result of a savoir-faire handed down from generation to generation. And with good reason: the Prunier family has always been closely linked to the history of caviar. After becoming the world's exclusive exporter of Russian caviar in 1918, the Prunier family pursued its ambition by producing the first French caviar from wild sturgeon, fished in the Gironde estuary, in 1921.
Although they are very common in the countries around the Caspian Sea, sturgeons have also developed in the saline waters of Aquitaine.
When the sturgeon became a protected species in 2008, prohibiting its fishing, Prunier immediately started the first French Acipenser Baeri breeding farm.
With the sturgeon farm set up by Laurent and Valérie Sabeau, and the active support of Pierre Bergé in producing the finest French caviar, Prunier has become a leading caviar Maison in France.
Laurent and Valérie have used the best Russian and Iranian methods coupled with the exceptional French terroir in Aquitaine to produce the precious roe.
Our fish, reared in the pure waters of the Isle River, benefit from a balanced diet and a protected environment, guaranteeing exceptional quality and taste in every bite. As a producer, Prunier pays particular attention to its sturgeon breeding conditions. Caviar is first and foremost a reflection of its terroir, so its quality is influenced by its origin. Knowledge of not only the country it comes from, but also the fish farm is essential.
Our flagship products include the famous Baeri caviar, renowned for its black colour and firm texture, but also its subtle flavour, combining nuts and dried fruit with a salty tang. The ro with its concentrated in flavour, is also repute to be smaller, which puts it at the opposite end of the spectrum to Beluga in terms of size.
A sturgeon variety that was first farmed in France, Acipenser Baerii has become the iconic caviar of Aquitaine.
