Our journey begins with patience and precision, as our brood stock mature over four years                                     before their eggs are deemed ready for commercial harvest. Nestled across several                                                 pristine sites in New Zealand, our aquaculture practices ensure both food security                                               and the flexibility to meet increased demand swiftly and sustainably.

​

                                             Embracing the ethos of organic cultivation, our Giant Kokopu brood stock thrive                                                    without the use of pesticides or chemicals, living harmoniously for over two                                                          decades. The Giant Kokopu, One of New Zealand's most endangered Whitebait                                                     species, now sustainably grown for egg production, also provides opportunities                                                    for re-release of Whitebait back into the wild. Our breeding stock will be with                                                    us for over 20 years, where they not only provide a sustainable income from                                                      egg [caviar] production but also assist conservation efforts to increase the                                                            numbers of breeding stock in the wild. We never forget that these beautiful                                                        creatures are part of our family.

​

                                                 Each year, these majestic creatures bestow upon us their precious, translucent                                                  eggs, the essence of New Zealand's native bounty. The result? A symphony of                                                  flavor encapsulated in our White Pearl and Manuka Cold Smoked Caviar, a                                                         testament to the purity of Aotearoa's waters and the expertise of our artisans.                                                   Delight in the natural umami notes and saline whispers of the sea, harmoniously                                             balanced with the delicate essence of whitebait.
