What is Cavinoir?

Cavinoir® is a refined delicacy that resembles caviar in appearance but is made from fish bouillon with sturgeon (minimum 5%). These delicate pearls have a rich, salty flavor that adds a touch of luxury to any dish.

On the Champagnesloep, Cavinoir is served as an optional bite, paired with blinis, crème fraîche, finely chopped onion, and chives, a classic combination that enhances the taste of both the dish and the champagne.
