MOTHER OF PEARL CAVIAR SPOON
Caviar spoons are traditionally made of inert materials, such as mother of pearl, gold, horn and moulded plastic.
There is a custom that caviar should not be served with a metal spoon because metal may impart an undesirable flavour.
It is often pointed out that caviar itself is stored in metal tins; however, the inside of all caviar tins are coated in a special edible food varnish.
Please be aware that the spoon shown in the image measures 5cm; however, the current batch is slightly longer at 7cm. Additionally, it's essential to note that this spoon is crafted entirely from 100% mother of pearl. As a result of its natural composition, variations in both colour and shape may occur.

TRANSIT TIMES & PACKAGING
All ingredients that we sell are hand selected choosing from the best product available.
We only use premium express courier services and aim to have produce out of our hands and into yours in the shortest possible time.
All perishable goods orders are safely packed in high quality mixed recyclable insulated packaging to keep your products perfect through the courier network, guaranteeing freshness for a minimum of 2 full days in transit. Much longer in colder seasons.
FROZEN PRODUCTS
The vast majority of frozen food shipments arrive frozen but we cannot guarantee this. In the event that your order has defrosted it should still be at a very low temperature when you receive it and therefore fine to put in straight in your freezer. Refreezing is only unsafe if the product has reached 8°c. It is worth mentioning that supermarkets routinely sell defrosted food as "fresh", with the advice that it may be frozen when you get home.
FRESH TRUFFLES
All fresh truffles are sent in a foil resealable pack with an absorbent paper. This is suitable for storing in your fridge. If storing truffles for more than a few days we recommend wrapping them in paper towel or using a Tuberpac. Fresh truffles are always best consumed as soon as possible.
