{"product_id":"beluga-xxl-special-reserve","title":"Beluga XXL Special Reserve","description":"\u003cp\u003eVelvety, rich and exceptionally refined, with delicate sweet-cream notes, pristine marine depth and a silken, lingering finish. The grandest and most exclusive expression of Beluga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeluga XXL Special Reserve is the grandest expression of Huso huso. The rarest and largest sturgeon, and the only carnivore of its species. The XXL grade is reserved for fish at the very upper limit of their growth, where the pearls reach an extraordinary size and the colour deepens to a luminous platinum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pearl is extra-large and firm, between 4.5 and 5.5 millimetres, with a luminous light pearl grey to platinum sheen. The fish is raised in certified aquaculture in Belgium and China, and grows for twenty years and beyond. The yield from each batch is very small, and selection is entirely by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the spoon, Beluga XXL opens with a commanding marine presence and a quiet iodised lift. The mid-palate brings exquisite silkiness, buttery depth and a delicate nuttiness. The finish is long and polished, with elegant marine salinity. The pearl is melting yet structured, releasing slowly and unfolding on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the BELEAEV collection, Beluga XXL Special Reserve is the rarest and most monumental grade. Choose it when scale matters as much as flavour, when the size of the pearl is part of the moment, and when the most discerning guest will recognise the difference at first glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Melting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAromatic notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powerful and iodised\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exquisitely silky and buttery, with delicate nuttiness, elegant marine salinity and a long polished finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serve well chilled and enjoy first on its own to appreciate its full scale and refinement.
