Why did the production of caviar creams stop?

Why did the production of the  caviar creams stopped?

The main ingredient of our caviar creams is capelin caviar, and the recipe for making a cream with the addition of natural ingredients (smoked salmon, shrimp, surimi and seaweed), perfected to the smallest detail, has made our creams one of your favorite products.

Despite the success of caviar creams and their varied assortment, we regretfully have to stop the production of this product, as you may have already noticed when placing an order on our website.

Why did the production of caviar creams stop?

For several years, we have worked out the recipe for caviar cream to the ideal in order to achieve the very memorable rich taste and consistency of the product. We have achieved the most correct combination of ingredients of only the highest quality, the main of which is capelin roe. However, the trends of recent years show a significant decline in the population of this fish.

Problems with the capelin catch began in 2005, decreasing from year to year. 2020 was the first year that global fishing was stopped. Such a shortage has arisen due to the high demand for fish: it is budgetary and affordable, which makes it a popular option for fishing. Capelin caviar has been harvested for many years, starting in the 1950s, and the peak of the world catch of this fish was in the mid-1970s. The frequent catch has led to a decrease in the fish population and the introduction of a moratorium on fishing. The restrictions came into effect in 2016 and have continued from year to year since then time.

Considering this situation, it becomes more and more difficult to find raw materials of exactly the quality that we need for the production of our caviar creams. We believe that only the best products should get on the table of our customers, and compromises in quality are unacceptable for us. Thus, we have discontinued the line of caviar creams and we hope that you will agree with our decision. We also believe that this decision is our contribution to the early recovery of the capelin population.

Are there alternatives to caviar creams?

We ran many tests in an attempt to replace the base of our caviar cream with caviar from other fish species, however, we came to the conclusion that it was capelin caviar that gave this product the taste and texture of the cream that many loved.

We hope that you will find new favorites among our range of fish and caviar products. We will continue to delight you with tasty and useful novelties, expand our offer, quickly and conveniently deliver your orders directly to your home. After all, if caviar, then IKRiNKA!
