Preguntas frecuentes
What are these salmon spheres and how are they made?
They are liquid-centred spherifications about 5 mm in diameter made from salmon, with a flavour and texture very similar to natural salmon roe.
How do they differ from natural salmon roe?
The pearls are a salmon-based product, not natural roe. They are an affordable alternative to natural salmon roe: they offer a very similar flavour and texture at a lower price, which makes them perfect for recipes and canapés where a larger quantity of product is needed.
How should they be stored?
Keep them refrigerated (2–8 °C) until the best-before date on the jar, and eat them within 2–3 days of opening.
Which recipes are they recommended for?
They are perfect for canapés, tartares, sushi, salads or for garnishing soups and fish dishes, adding the characteristic flavour and colour of salmon at a more accessible cost.
Are they suitable for people with gluten allergies?
They contain no gluten or GMOs. They are not suitable for vegans or for people with a fish allergy, as they are made from salmon.
What is reverse spherification and why is Spherika an expert in it?
It is a molecular gastronomy technique that encapsulates a liquid inside a thin gelled membrane, creating a pearl with a “liquid centre” that bursts in the mouth. Pescaviar became a benchmark in this technique in 2009 when it acquired Just Gourmet Food, a pioneer in industrialising it, and has since been one of the few companies able to offer both direct and reverse spherification on a commercial scale.
How does my order reach me without breaking the cold chain?
Pescaviar S.L., the company behind Spherika, takes special care with the logistics of its refrigerated products: orders to mainland Spain placed before 11:00 (Monday to Thursday) arrive in 24 h, and to the Balearic Islands in 48 h. We do not ship on Fridays or at weekends (the order would be delivered the following Tuesday or Wednesday), precisely to ensure the product always arrives chilled and in perfect condition. We do not ship to the Canary Islands.
Can I return this product if I change my mind?
No. As a refrigerated, perishable product, consumer law (art. 103 of the Spanish LGDCU) excludes the 14-day right of withdrawal for products that must be kept refrigerated. Only cases of products damaged in transit, in poor condition or with an order error are handled as incidents, with a replacement or refund, when reported with photos to general@pescaviar.com within 24 hours of delivery.
How much do you save compared with natural salmon roe?
At around €48/kg, this salmon sphere costs 4 to 5 times less per kilo than natural salmon roe (€199–250/kg depending on the variety), while keeping a very similar flavour and texture.
