Caviar Perle Noire A gourmet and immersive experience in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac

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. 

Caviar production at Caviar Perle Noire is a delicate process. Carefully extracted eggs are carefully sorted according to size, colour and firmness. Following a strict protocol, the eggs are sifted, washed, lightly salted and then packaged in traditional "Malossol" boxes of 1 or 1.8kg. These boxes are then kept in a cold room at -2°C, for a refining supervised by Anthony, Master Refiner. After this meticulous process, the caviar is packaged in small boxes of different grammages, ready to be tasted by connoisseurs.
