Mt Cook Alpine Salmon - First of Season Caviar

Indulge in New Zealand’s most premium caviar experience, the finest of what nature has to offer. First of Season represents the freshest and highest quality caviar. Hand crafted in small batches at the start of the season and available for a fleeting moment in time.

Reared for Roe

Mt Cook is the only company in New Zealand to grow salmon exclusively for caviar. These carefully selected salmon are fed a special diet before being harvested at their peak, producing what we consider to be the world’s finest salmon caviar.

Provenance

The First of Season Caviar salmon are raised in the icy cold waters of the South Island’s Southern Alps. The untouched glacial melts flow down into the fast-flowing canals which our salmon call home, resulting in a clean flavour profile of our caviar.

Crafted by hand

A labour of love, Mt Cook Caviar Masters produce our caviar with no pasteurisation, chemicals or preservatives other than salt. And because they’re in complete control of every stage of the process means you are assured of salmon caviar of exquisite quality.

Our Range

Malossol

Mt Cook use the traditional Russian malossol method to gently brine the roe. It brings out the subtle, light, and clean taste of the caviar oils while imparting a slightly sweet flavour.

Ikura

This is their take on a Japanese classic method of curing using soy and sake. Nutty undertones of soy with rich umami notes, meld beautifully into the character of the caviar oils. Ikura has a hint of sweetness and sake in the finish.

How to enjoy

When it comes to experiencing their salmon caviar, keeping it simple is the key. Its light and clean taste profile means it can get lost among other flavours. Open just before consuming to avoid oxidation. And once opened, consume entirely.

Serve with a glass of white wine, champagne, or Zenkuro’s Nama Sake, specially designed to pair with the First of Season Caviar.
