BLACK PEARL CAVIAR: A GOURMET AND IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE AT EYZIES DE TAYAC

Founded in 1997, Caviar Perle Noire is a key player in the production of caviar and trout eggs in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, precisely in the picturesque Périgord Noir. Nestled near the Caves of Combarelles, the Château de Commarque and the Château de Puymartin, our aquaculture farm enjoys optimal breeding conditions, in the heart of a region rich in history and flavors.

The breeding of Black Pearl Caviar located in a Natura 2000 area is fed by the Beune stream, which comes from a spring. Our sturgeons, Acipenser baerii and Acipencer Gueldenstaedtiii, develop under optimal conditions, reaching maturity around 10 years. 

The fabrication of caviar is a delicat process. Eggs are carefully extracted and according to size - color and firmness. Foolowing a strict protocol eggs are sifted - washed and lightly salted and then put in a "Malossol" box for maturation in our cold room at -2°C. When the chosen refining delay is over, Anthony our Master Refiner, open a box and packadged the caviar in small vacuum-tin of different weights.

In the heart of Périgord Noir, Black Pearl Caviar open its doors for a gourmet and unsual visit. You will explore the fish farm with Emilie to discover the unknow and fascinating history. You will learn how we breed with respect and naturally our sturgeons and trout. And you will finish with a fabulous tasting.
