THE ART OF
CAVIAR MAKING
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
When ready, caviar is hand-packed into specially developed tins that will preserve the exclusive taste of Icone caviar. Every tin is personally packed by Maître Affineur to ensure impeccable quality. Once the tin is vacuum sealed, the Icone pewter label is applied on top, as a quality guarantee sign.
Iceconic™ serving plate was conceived by Icone, to ensure premium serving experience. It was specifically developed to serve caviar at the perfect temperature without needing ice.

Once the Original Tins with selected sturgeon roe arrive in Switzerland, in Geneva affinage facilities, the Maître Affineur will carefully grade them and start the caviar maturation. The ageing process can be as short as 20 days, just enough for the salt to be absorbed into the egg or can take several years to allow for strong, pronounced flavours.

A unique maturing process developed by Icone’s Maître Affineur, combines precision temperature control techniques and perfect maturing time with Swiss quality control. The result is the wonderful complexity that Icone caviars are known for.

MATURATION
The guidelines for selection require for a sturgeon to live in open air habitat, preferably in open water cages. The habitat water quality and biochemical balance must also resemble the natural habitat for each of the species. All factors are taken into account: environment, nutrition, water quality, health and age.

Icone selection team oversees the entire life of sturgeons at the selected farms, from hatching to maturity. Depending on the sturgeon species the selection process takes between 6 and 25 years and requires close cooperation with partner farms. Only the sturgeons that live in the best conditions are selected to produce Icone Caviar.
