About Us
Mottra caviar has quickly found favour with top chefs, retailers and customers alike, and not just because of its subtle, not-too-salty flavour.
This farmed caviar is obtained by methods that do not harm the fish, which means that it is a sustainable and ethically sourced food from a traceable source. The fish are given exclusively organic feed and swim in pollution-free water that comes from deep artesian wells, ensuring that it is an entirely natural caviar, with nothing added except salt. The pure, authentic taste will be a revelation to caviar-lovers.
MOTTRA Ltd continues the old tradition of serving Latvian caviar to the British tables. Caviar from Riga, the capital of Latvia, has been served in the Royal Courts of Europe ever since 17th Century.
Established in 2002 MOTTRA farm combines the best of the old traditions with a new environmental and scientific approach, resulting in the production of the purest caviar that will delight the most discerning connoisseur.
Caviar lovers have always suffered from the knowledge that lives of wild breeding sturgeons were terminated to provide this exclusive delicacy, thus consuming caviar from the endangered species is very much at odds with the world concerns on animal welfare and sustainability. Mottra has solved this dilemma with the use of special sturgeon caviar farming techniques that encourage caviar production, whilst putting the welfare of the sturgeon first.
Once the sturgeon is about six or seven years of age it is milked or ‘stripped’ of its eggs, rather than being culled. The sturgeon then put back into the perfect conditions of Mottra’s indoor pools where the fish continues to grow and starts the next process of caviar production.
Mottra Caviar is not only sustainable, it’s also ethical and guilt-free, as the fish is not slit open just for the sake of its eggs but milked.
Mottra caviar. That’s it. Why would you have anything else? Caviar from wild fish is going to be a thing of the past, because there just ain’t that many sturgeon out there any more. On top of the sustainability aspect, the eggs are much less salty than traditional kinds, so you get a good taste of the actual eggs.
Since we started offering Mottra caviar with one of L’Anima signature dishes it’s become even more popular. The subtle taste just lifts the dish and gives it an extra burst of flavour
Wild caviar is very difficult to source and its scarcity must question our use of it. Mottra caviar is a great alternative and the flavour is superb. Some farmed caviar can be muddy or too salty in flavour, there is none of this with the Mottra products. They are first rate.
Thank you very much for your … sustainable ethical and guilt-free caviar
Many thanks for your fast service.
