Jacques Pepin Pressed Caviar 'Pepin Payusnaya'

Jacques Pepin and California Caviar Company have teamed up to create the first domestic pressed caviar available in the United States. Combining the roe of three species of domestic sturgeon, this signature caviar, called "Pepin Payusnaya" is personalized with the master chef's hand-sketched artwork.


"Pepin Payusnaya" is the first of California Caviar Company's Chef's
Signature Series. Pepin's pressed caviar uses only the highest quality
sustainable American sturgeon caviar from California's farmed white sturgeon
along with wild hackleback and paddlefish from the Mississippi and Tennessee
River systems. This payusnaya is full-flavored, complex, yet smooth and can be
sliced, shaved, molded, spread or applied to sauces to enhance any dish.


Jacques Pepin states, "For the true amateur of caviar there is nothing
like pressed caviar or payusnaya. The original Russian payusnaya was usually
made from a mixture of beluga, osetra and sevruga eggs and for all intents and
purposes it is unavailable in the US nowadays. With its intense, assertive
taste and dense, smooth texture, it is extremely versatile and a wonderful new
addition to the repertoire of the imaginative and inventive chef." Image Luxist.com
