CHARACTER:
Payusnaya is a thick caviar spread that the Russian culture has enjoyed for decades. Originally created by sturgeon fishermen who would collect leftover sturgeon eggs from their day’s catch and remove most of the moisture to create a luxurious spread. No two payusnayas were ever the same!
Today, Calvisius has brought this delicious tradition back to the consumer. In 2017, they hired Russian Payusnaya experts to teach them how to make payusnaya using a classic Old World recipe and then adding the unique Calvisius touch. To maintain a consistent smooth and creamy flavor, Calvisius’ Payusnaya is made from 100% White Sturgeon (A. transmontanus). Giving you the same consistent delicious flavor all year round. A beautiful new way for caviar enthusiasts to discover and enjoy a special past-time!
Best served simply on toast, bread or crackers.
ABOUT CALVISIUS:
Vertically integrated, Calvisius is one of a handful of caviar producers who not only own their farms but also control packing with the Calvisius brand. Like a fine wine, they oversee production from the beginning to the end, roe to roe. Because there is no repacking by a third party, you can be assured each tin will produce the same delicious consistent quality Calvisius is known for, year after year.
SHELF LIFE:
Unopened: up to a 6 months. Each tin has an expiration date on the bottom. Once opened, is best to consume within 1 week as off flavors may develop. Like a wine, oxidation can change the fresh flavors of the spread.
