An intimate evening of taste, merroir & culture

Caviar has long been associated with luxury. But behind every pearl is a story of species, water, place, craftsmanship and time.

 

On October 1, Cin Cin welcomes French entrepreneur and caviar expert Grégoire Doulain for an intimate evening exploring the world of caviar through history, merroir, production and the art of tasting.

 

As Ontario’s exclusive representative of Maison Kaviari Paris, Grégoire brings a rare depth of knowledge to the table. Founded in 1953, Kaviari is one of Paris’s distinguished caviar houses, supplying some of the world’s leading chefs and restaurants.

The Tasting

The evening begins with a presentation and guided tasting led by Grégoire, taking us beyond the luxury of caviar to understand what lies behind the pearl.

 

We will explore the history of caviar, the different species of sturgeon, the evolution from wild to sustainable farming, and the influence of water, environment, feed, maturation and salting on the finished product.

 

Grégoire will also guide us through the fundamentals of tasting: appearance, texture, aroma, firmness, the characteristic pop of the pearl and the length and character of the finish.

 

The tasting features four 5g servings of exceptional Kaviari caviar, each explored with Grégoire and paired with Champagne:

 

Baeri Royal
Osciètre Prestige
Kristal
Beluga Impérial

 

Together, the four offer an opportunity to discover how dramatically caviar can differ in character, texture and flavour.

The French Table

Following the guided tasting, the evening becomes more relaxed, with a table of French gastronomic specialties to enjoy at your leisure.

 

Among them: oysters, langoustines, smoked salmon, smoked tuna belly and salmon roe, alongside classic caviar accompaniments including blinis, crème fraîche, egg mimosa and chives.

 

At the centre of the table will be a 500g tin of Kaviari Kristal, presented for guests to enjoy throughout the evening.

 

Vodka will accompany this second part of the evening.
