Yarra Valley Caviar is the only dedicated Australian producer of
fresh water Atlantic Salmon with its organic aquaculture farm located at the
base of the Rubicon River in the Yarra Valley region of rural Victoria. The
farm follows strictly to UK soil association guidelines for organic aquaculture
and has banned the use of any antibiotics or chemicals.
The producer is also a staunch believer in the humane treatment of
its fish, taking a completely natural approach to its rearing and roe extraction. Yearly, the fish are milked for the roe, gently
by hand, under a completely natural anaesthetic of clove oil which puts them to
sleep for a few minutes. After stroking the belly to test if the fish is ready
for harvest, the fish is flipped over and a hand runs gently across the
underbelly, to have a stream of pearls cascade out. For Salmon, the fish carry around one fifth
of their body weight in roe and after milking they are rather saggy around the
middle. Once “milked”, the fish are gently placed back into the freshwater
pond, and within half an hour they are happily swimming again. A truly
sustainable and ethical farming method that has won them many fans!
The roe is then cleaned and packaged on site using premium sea
salt flakes, without the use of any additives. You can be assured that the
caviar is bright, plump and flawless, with each pearl bursting with flavour!
