20% increase of Catalan caviar sales produced by Caviar Nacarii, from the Pyrenees

Les (ACN) - Caviar Nacarii, from the Vall d’Aran County – the north-western corner of Catalonia, in the middle of the Pyrenees – has recently broken its record for the production of caviar. The Catalan brand sold 812 kilograms of this precious food in 2012, which is 20% more than in 2011 thanks to the increase in the international sales of its product. In addition, it also sold 7.5 tons of sturgeon meat which represents a 7% rise over the previous year.

The number one buyer is not surprisingly Russia. The well-known consumer of caviar purchased some 300 kilograms last year from the Catalan producer. The aim of the company for 2013 is to introduce its caviar to Sweden and Taiwan. Therefore, they will be present in 10 countries in Europe and Asia.

The sales director of Caviar Nacarii, Sara Morales, explained that “after 7 years on the market, the brand has become one of the most exclusive brands of caviar in Europe.” Morales added that “this is a handmade product of a very high and exclusive quality which is part of a limited production.”

The company is now breeding fry of the species: Acipenser Naccari i Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii, which will become fertile in 2018 and will produce Naccari and Oscietra caviar.
