Frequently Asked Questions
What are these sturgeon spheres?
They are liquid-centred fish spherifications, about 3 mm in diameter, made from sturgeon, with a flavour and texture practically indistinguishable from natural sturgeon roe (caviar).
Are they an alternative to natural sturgeon caviar?
Yes, they are the perfect alternative for recipes and canapés when you want the flavour and texture of sturgeon caviar at a much more affordable price and in larger quantities.
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 once opened.
Which dishes can they be used in?
They are ideal for canapés, tartares, eggs, potatoes or any recipe where you would otherwise use sturgeon caviar and want a similar effect at a lower cost.
Do they contain gluten or GMOs?
They contain no gluten or GMOs. As they are sturgeon-based spheres, they are not suitable for vegans or for people with a fish allergy.
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 sturgeon caviar?
At €60/kg, this sphere costs 25 times less per kilo than Spherika sturgeon caviar (€1,500/kg in the 20 g format), making it an ideal option for recipes that need a large quantity without the cost of real caviar.
