Jacques Pépin - Pressed Caviar
Jacques Pépin is a French born, American chef, author, culinary educator, television personality, and artist. Since the late 1980s, he has appeared on American television and has written for The New York Times, Food & Wine and other publications.
"For the true amateur of caviar there is nothing like pressed caviar or payusnaya. The original Russian payusnaya was usually made from a mixture of beluga, osetra and sevruga eggs and for all intents and purposes it has been unavailable in the United States until now. With its intense, assertive taste and dense, smooth texture, it is extremely versatile and a wonderful new addition to the repertoire of the imaginative and inventive chef."

Chris Radomski - Adelita Caviar
"My background is rooted in fine wine and food,” says Chris Radomski, CEO of Legends Spirits and Award Winning Vintner and Spirits Producer. “Since the creation of La Adelita, I’ve strived for concepts that would elevate the world of spirits on a level similar to the world of wine, especially when it comes to tequila. We started experimenting with the flavors of our tequila paired with caviar, and after a long process of tastings and pairings with Chef Matt Zubrod, Culinary Director of The Little Nell, and Deborah at California Caviar, we found three amazing caviar combos that pair perfectly with our blanco, reposado and cristalino tequilas. Focusing on these great pairings, and, looking to evolve the old school tequila shot with lime and salt, we created the ‘Adelita Bump’ - a concept that came to me from years of being around great chefs who indulged on caviar, and at times in a less sophisticated fashion for fun. We’ve found a way to replace salt and lime with caviar and a shot of La Adelita! lets all do the adelita bump!" As a partnership that brings a renowned award-winning vintner together with a generational family and visionaries in Mexico, La Adelita’s intricate production process and American Oak barrel-aged product truly sets it apart from the rest, and now it offers caviar for you to put to the test.
