Our four different types of Caviar come from different species native from the Caspian Sea and Siberia. The Baerii Sturgeon was the first sturgeon fish to be farmed with success both for its flesh and its roe to produce the famous Russian style caviar. With more than 25 years of experience breeding this caviar, French and Italian farms are now producing premium quality caviar from this variety. Caviar Siberian and Caviar Perlita come both from the Baerii Sturgeon.

18 The Fleur de Sel has been recognised for many years as being the highest quality of salt, a treasure of gourmets now accessible to all. Composed of distinctive salt crystals and slightly humid, the granularity and inimitable taste of the Fleur de Sel de Camargue is a unique salt that melts slowly on the tongue and gently enhances the flavour of the dishes it accompanies. All these qualities make it the number one brand of the Fleur de Sel. Harvesting this salt is still carried out in the traditional way handpicked and just once a year. When the wind stops blowing with the approach of summer, millions of salt crystals form on the water s surface to give birth to the Fleur de Sel of Camargue. Until very recently it was only the privilege of salt workers and owners of the salt marshes, but now the traditional harvest is for the good taste of everybody!
