What is a Caviar Bump?

 

"Hey, do you want a caviar bump?"

This question might sound incredibly strange but believe it or not, it's a very common one in the caviar industry. Caviar is an exclusive delicacy often served in upscale settings, and one of the ways it can be served is on the hand. This method is considered traditional and elegant, and it is believed to enhance the flavor and texture of the caviar. The warmth of the hand softens the caviar, releasing its unique flavors and aromas. This is a unique way of presenting caviar that can be enjoyed by caviar connoisseurs and those new to the delicacy. So if you're at an upscale gathering and you are offered a caviar bump, don't be alarmed, put your hand out and join in on some caviar fun! 

Caviar Bump

When caviar is served on the hand, it is typically presented on the back of the hand. The caviar is then eaten by gently pressing it onto the roof of the mouth with the tongue. Doing this allows the caviar to melt slowly in the mouth and release its full range of flavors and aromas. Additionally, it allows the person to appreciate the caviar's texture and taste, as it does not affect the quality of the caviar and allows it to be tasted at room temperature.


Another reason caviar is served on the hand is that it is a way to taste it in its purest form. Caviar is a delicate delicacy that is often paired with other ingredients, such as crackers or toast, which can mask its true flavor. When caviar is served on the hand, it is presented without any other elements, allowing the person to taste it in its purest form.


Additionally, by eating caviar from the hand, caviar masters can also detect any defects or impurities in the caviar, such as a musty or metallic taste, which can indicate that the caviar is not of high quality. Eating caviar from the hand also allows the caviar master to experience the full range of flavors and aromas of the caviar, including its unique salty, nutty, and buttery notes. This traditional practice has been passed down through generations of caviar masters, who have developed a refined palate and a deep understanding of the nuances of caviar. They use their expertise to select only the highest quality caviar for their customers and ensure that it is stored, handled, and served properly to maintain its freshness and flavor.

Eating caviar from the hand is a true art form that requires skill, knowledge, and a deep appreciation for this delicacy. It is a way to fully experience and enjoy the flavors and textures of caviar, and to appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into producing this unique delicacy.

However, not everyone prefers to eat caviar on the hand, as some may find it unhygienic or unsanitary. In such cases, caviar can also be served in a traditional way, on a plate with accompaniments such as blinis, chopped egg, onions, and sour cream. It can also be served on a bed of ice to keep it chilled and eaten with a mother-of-pearl-spoon. Some people may also enjoy caviar served with Champagne or vodka to complement its taste.
