The same excitement is felt every time an original tin is opened,
even though Mr. Razavi has already made an initial selection in
Iran.
The sight of the caviar in an original tin is always a visual and
olfactory delight.
|
 |
| 
A sublime moment is spent testing the caviar: appreciating the
fragrance, the size of the egg, its transparency, colour, the fine
skin, the texture, its oil content and, of course, its flavour. |

Strictly speaking, the products are prepared and packaged according
to the needs of our customers and the type of packaging required.
Precise movements, an experienced eye, discernment, the person in
charge of packaging has to be both fast and accurate.
Caviar does not like being exposed to the air. The tin it is placed
in is firmly pressed to remove any air that could oxidise it. The
tin is then sealed with a natural rubber band. This offers further
protection and can be used to feature various items of information,
such as the type of caviar, its grade, the packaging date and the
fishing N°. |

The Waterloo laboratory sets the best example there is in terms
of packaging procedures. Moreover, the entire system is geared to
guarantee product traceability, one of Caspian Tradition's key concerns.
Thanks
to a stringent handling process, where each operational stage is
recorded in a reference guide plus a high-performance IT system,
each batch may be easily identified by its reference number. Similarly,
each tin features the information required to tell the batch it
belongs to. The information is amplified by the labelling featuring
the quality, the weight and the accreditation number together with
the registration. All of these items are used to identify the product
genealogy.

Once the caviar has been packaged, each original tin is destroyed
to prevent any poaching. |
 |
| 
 |
 |
The small tins are left to rest
in the refrigerator for a while, so the contents can stabilise
before being wrapped in the room intended for this purpose. |
