Mirepoix USA (enjoyfoiegras.com), a leading online purveyor of foie gras, caviar, truffles and other gourmet foods, will serve Black River Russian Oscietra Caviar (acipenser gueldensatedtii) served on Potato Crisps with Crème Fraiche. According to Laurel Pine, Mirepoix USA founder, Black River Caviar is farmed in Uruguay using highly sophisticated farming equipment which almost exactly mimics the natural environment of wild Russian sturgeon. The result is a smooth, creamy, and fresh tasting caviar that rivals wild Russian caviar.
