Ode to food

The lightly salted Baerii velvety eggs

"Baerii Caviare" was the name of the label. With a wrinkled brow and a natural curiosity the tin was opened. One had heard about this bred sturgeon, but never tasted it. The taste buds were enjoyably surprised and quickly sent the new message to the gourmet department of the brain: "yum-yum, the dark, velvety eggs from the Gironde river were salted to perfection and the quality at the same high level as the Iranian Sevruga and Oscietre".

The Baerii Caviare was served up against the other types of caviare to connaisseurs, gourmets, chefs and other good people for something like a year. The surprise could not be misunder- stood and to-day it has made its mark on the menu card of Søllerød Kro. At a 14 cause Barii menu the presentation was short and concise: " I have tasted the whole menu with caviare and pepper." The natural addition to the causes created great enthusiasm; even for the desert of apple sorbet and white chocolate.

Baerii caviare is here to stay.
