Sea urchin caviar—often called uni—is a true delicacy, celebrated for its briny sweetness, creamy texture, and unmistakable taste of the sea. With our shelf-stable sea urchin caviar, you can enjoy this gourmet experience anytime, anywhere. Here’s how to savor every bite.
What Is Sea Urchin Caviar?
Sea urchin caviar is crafted from the roe of the sea urchin. Its vibrant golden hue and custard-like consistency make it a favorite among gourmet enthusiasts. Uni is renowned for its umami depth, blending sweet cream, ocean brine, and subtle minerality in every spoonful.
How to Enjoy Uni at Its Best
- Keep It Simple: The pure, delicate flavor of our shelf-stable sea urchin caviar shines with minimal embellishment. Serve it chilled, straight from the jar, or spooned onto a neutral base.
- Classic Pairings: Enjoy uni atop warm, buttered toast, blini, or sushi rice. A hint of lemon zest or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt can elevate its natural sweetness.
- Gourmet Accents: For a luxurious touch, pair sea urchin caviar with crème fraîche, or layer it with other premium ingredients like caviar, scallops, or fresh herbs.
- Wine & Spirits: Uni’s richness pairs beautifully with Champagne, dry sake, or a crisp white wine—each sip refreshing your palate for another decadent taste.
