Crème fraîche is one of the simplest and most essential accompaniments to caviar and smoked salmon. Its thick, smooth texture, its neutral profile and its natural mildness extend the aromas of the main product without masking them. It is this very neutrality that makes it a universal accompaniment, as much at home on the great tables as in the simplest of uses.
Our crème fraîche is selected for its quality: full-fat cream, a thick texture, a clean and fresh profile. It sets itself apart from liquid or reduced-fat creams by its consistency, which allows it to be placed in a neat dab on a blini or a toast without running.
Ideal as an accompaniment to caviar (where it softens the briny intensity), to smoked salmon (where it brings freshness against the notes of the smoking), or to garnished blinis (where it acts as a link between the warm blini and the cold topping).
Crème fraîche is the time-honoured accompaniment to caviar and blinis. Its success rests on a balance: a rich texture, a discreet flavour, a freshness that carries the main product further. It is this restraint that makes it a timeless classic.
Our selection highlights a premium crème fraîche, served in a small amount to underline the finesse of the pearls. It is set to broaden, in the same spirit of smoothness and elegant neutrality.

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.
