Calvisius, the Northern Italian farmed caviar company, sells an innovative and useful type of dried caviar. Made from California white sturgeon roe and shaped like an ingot, the caviar is firm and hard so it can easily be shaved with a grater or potato peeler over scrambled eggs, an omelet, mashed potatoes, pasta, cheese, seafood or buttered toast. A little goes a very long way and the flavor blooms with warm food.
Calvisius Lingotto, 1.2 ounces $99, 2.5 ounces $149.99, calvisiususa.com.
