Which caviar for this recipe?
Royal Oscietra Caviar is the natural first choice for this bite. Its refined salinity, creamy texture and gentle nutty notes echo the toasted hazelnuts and balance beautifully with the softness of burrata.
For a different expression, Imperial Gold Caviar offers a richer, more rounded profile.
Its smooth, buttery character pairs effortlessly with creamy cheeses, creating a more indulgent, velvety finish — ideal for festive occasions or when a deeper flavour is desired.
Both variations remain elegant and restrained, allowing the caviar to lead while the toppings provide texture and contrast.
