Lingotto Pressed Caviar, Net Weight 29g

There was a fashion for pressing caviar in the first half of the 20^th century that has since waned. Recently though, lingotto, or pressed caviar, is having a revival. Retaining all the fragrance and intensity of caviar, the method of carefully drying and curing sturgeon roe reduces the weight by about two thirds. The result is an incredibly versatile product that makes a fantastic show piece as you shave it over pasta or carefully slice it onto delicate canapés.
