Net: 100g First spawning roe — softer, more delicate pearls Hand-milked from live fish — no fish killed BAP certified, antibiotic-free

Salmon roe from the first-ever spawning of young Atlantic salmon — softer, more delicate pearls with a clean, briny pop. Hand-milked from live fish on a family-owned farm in Australia's Yarra Valley, fed by gravity from alpine spring water. BAP certified. No additives, no antibiotics. Just roe and salt.

First Harvest salmon roe from Yarra Valley Caviar — vibrant, translucent orange-red pearls with a soft pop and a clean, briny burst of flavour. "First Harvest" refers to the roe collected from the first-ever spawning of young female Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The result is a smaller, softer, more delicate pearl than roe from mature fish — it dissolves more readily on the palate and has a gentler, less intensely fishy character. This is ikura at its most refined.

Yarra Valley Caviar is a family-owned boutique freshwater aquaculture farm located at the base of the Rubicon River in Victoria's Yarra Valley Ranges, Australia. Their salmon are raised in large earthen ponds fed by gravity from alpine spring water — no pumps, no chemicals, no antibiotics. What sets Yarra Valley apart from most salmon roe producers is their harvesting method: the fish are hand-milked once a year, in May, under a natural clove oil anaesthetic. The fish are returned alive to their ponds to spawn again the following year. No fish are killed for their roe. The operation is BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) certified and the roe is packaged on site with nothing added beyond salt.

Producer: Yarra Valley Caviar, Victoria, Australia

Net: 100g

Allergens: Fish (salmon)

This roe arrives ready to serve — no preparation required beyond opening the tin. For the fullest flavour, remove from the refrigerator 5 minutes before serving.

Salmon roe is one of the most versatile luxury ingredients in the kitchen. Spoon it directly onto blinis with crème fraîche for a classic canapé. Pile it generously over warm scrambled eggs on toast — the heat from the eggs gently warms the roe without cooking it, releasing its briny flavour. Use it as a finishing touch on sushi, hand rolls, or poke bowls. It also works as a garnish for seared scallops, cured salmon, or a simple potato salad with chives and sour cream.

For a traditional Japanese preparation, serve the roe as ikura — spooned into a small bowl of sushi rice, dressed with a little soy and a drop of sesame oil. The clean, salty burst of the pearls against warm, vinegared rice is one of the simplest and most satisfying ways to eat it.

Avoid heating the roe directly — it is best enjoyed at cool or room temperature, or warmed only by contact with a hot dish. Use a non-metal spoon to serve.

Once opened, keep the tin covered in the refrigerator and consume within 4 days. Do not refreeze.
