So is Australian caviar good or what?

Caviar is the eggs from specific types of fish – particularly certain species of salmon.

Due to the process and limited amount of eggs available from each fish, it is an expensive food and is therefore not found in most shopping baskets. It is a special dish and has a reputation of quality.

Australia is rapidly developing an international reputation for extremely high quality caviar.

Recently a salmon farm and business in Victoria picked up yet another internationally recognised award for it’s caviar.

The Yarra Valley has a perfect environment for the production of both high quality salmon and the caviar. Combined with the clear, fresh water and no antibiotic or chemical use , it is the ideal place to raise salmon and harvest the eggs. The fish are treated carefully and once the eggs are collected, they are returned to the ponds.

This environment and sustainable practices make Yarra Valley Caviar a world renowned product.

The business was also recently recognised for it’s outstanding sustainability by being awarded with a Banksia Environmental Foundation Award.

There are many people who believe that fish farming is not a sustainable practice, however this company is an example of how when done properly this industry is not only good for the fish, and the business but has little or no impact on the environment.
