This is an excellent product, though it is far too salty. I would revive but the price more than doubled. I would definitely consider if the price comes back down to what it was

Offer your guests a taste of luxury without the gourmet price tag with this Bemka Herruga caviar! This product consists of the roe of Spanish herring, which is a popular and affordable alternative to more traditional and expensive sturgeon caviar. The eggs are small; though it is naturally golden in color, the roe is dyed with squid ink to create a resemblance to sturgeon caviar. This herring caviar boasts an intense flavor with a mild smokiness and a lingering salty finish. It's also flavored with a twist of lemon juice to add interest and depth to the flavor profile! This caviar is renowned for its especially delicate texture: the soft envelope bursts under the slightest pressure to reveal its velvety interior. This herring roe caviar is a delicious and budget-friendly alternative to sturgeon caviar that doesn't sacrifice great flavor, making it a perfect addition to any meal or event.
When serving this caviar to your guests, avoid metal vessels and utensils, as these can produce a metallic flavor that compromises the pure, fresh taste of this product. Glass, ceramic, and bone serving ware are suitable options, though mother of pearl and gold are the most traditional and luxuriant choices. Serve this caviar very cold by transferring it to a serving bowl nestled inside a larger bowl filled with crushed ice. Many purists insist that caviar is best enjoyed on its own; for a true experience of this flavorful product, invite your guests to scoop up a small spoonful of caviar and use their tongues to gently press it onto the roofs of their mouths, without chewing. The eggs will burst and release their complex flavor, allowing your guests to savor this exquisite sensory experience.
If you want to serve this caviar with other morsels, offer it atop toast points, unsalted crackers, or blini (small Russian crepes). It is traditionally served alongside accompaniments like lemon wedges, creme fraiche, chopped herbs, and minced onion. It can also be used it as a garnish for cold dishes like spreads, dips, and salads or incorporated into entrees like pastas, risottos, or soups, to add a boost of savory seafood flavor without the expense of sturgeon caviar. For wine pairings, offer your guests complementary flavors like brut champagne or prosecco or any variety of dry white wine. This herring caviar also pairs beautifully with ice cold vodka! To ensure the freshness of this product, this caviar should be consumed within 3 days of opening; unopened, refrigerated containers will stay fresh for 4 to 6 weeks. No matter how you choose to serve it, this Herruga caviar is sure to set your establishment apart from the competition!

These salmon eggs are fairly large, and most of them are in tact, so they pop gently in your mouth when you eat them. The flavor is delicate and briny from the added salt. They don't have any added coloring, so they are a really high quality product. I love them with a little creme fraiche on bread.
