The Caviar House Small Blinis carry forward the tradition of fine Russian gastronomy. The blini, a small leavened pancake made from flour and yeast, has accompanied caviar and salmon roe in the codes of Russian-style service since the nineteenth century. Its soft, lightly airy texture serves as a neutral setting that brings out the aromas of the main product. Our 16-piece format (small blinis) is designed for the aperitif and the drinks reception: each mini-pancake, already portioned, holds a touch of caviar, a spoon of crème fraîche and a classic topping (chives, dill, finely chopped red onion). The individual format lets you multiply refined bites and pass round elegant canapes, in the tradition codified by the great Russian and French tables.

The Balik Mustard and Dill Sauce is the signature accompaniment of the House of Balik. Made to a traditional Swiss recipe, this sauce balances the sweet mellowness of the mustard with the herbaceous freshness of the dill. It is the established accompaniment to smoked salmon, particularly in Scandinavian dishes such as gravlax. The aromatic profile is balanced: pronounced enough to bring dimension to the dish, mellow enough not to mask the finesse of the salmon. It is this mastery that sets the Balik sauce apart from more aggressive mustards or generic dill sauces. Ideal for accompanying slices of Balik smoked salmon (Tsar Nikolaj, Sjomga, Overture), gravlax, but also garnished blinis and certain cold fish-based preparations.
