Caviar Etiquette

The clean taste of Calvisius caviar is exquisite! Each caviar tin is traceable to the sturgeon it came from. Because of its sustainable practices, Calvisius Farm contributes to the protection of the sturgeon and the environment.

What I have learned at the Calvisius Caviar Lounge is all about appreciating premium roes caviar, on taste, connoisseurs or the Russians refer to this as, “Malossol quality”, meaning “low in salt content”. It is best to know about caviar to appreciate the quality and taste. Best caviar comes from sustainable farmed sturgeons that grow in a perfect environment. Just like coffee comes from the most premium beans and wine comes from the best vines and perfect terroir.

POTATO MARCH: Visit Cafe Marco at Marco Polo Hotel, Cebu

On the first day of March, the U.S. Potato Board kicks off USPotatobilities at top restaurants in the splendid Queen City of the South! Try the piquant USPotato rendition of Cebu’s creative chefs!  I tried them all when I hopped on a USPotato Safari.  I’ll tell you which ones are the must-try’s.

Cafe Marco at Marco Polo Hotel.  Chef Stefano Verrillo prepared a unique wine dinner.  We had Crispy US Potato Bread Roll on US Potato Skin–very crispy on the outside, soft  and chewy inside. For our palate-break, I was awed just by looking at the US Potato Faberge Egg sorbet—Granny Smith apple rolled in US Potato Skin and lemon.  And, it’s really refreshing!  For soup lovers, the layered flavors of Fish Chowder blended with puree of US Frozen Potato was exquisite. Chef Stefano reminded us in his baritone voice to “try not to mix the soup, so you get to savor each layer.”
