In March, the 5th annual Caviar Month will take place in the Val d’Aran. From the 6th – 29th of March, 9 Aranese restaurants will offer exclusive menus featuring caviar Nacarii. Caviar Nacarii is a locally produced caviar that boasts the quality assurance guarantee of the Val d’Aran.
The Aranese produced caviar has been recognised by chefs for its authentic flavour, freshness, purity and transparency. It comes from the cold, pure and crystalline waters of the Garonne melt and is produced using traditional methods in the fish farm located in the municipality of Les.
Other activities during the month of March will complement the gastronomic experiences. These include a visit to the Les factory to learn about the history and process of production, caviar tasting in the shop in the centre of Vielha or to immerse oneself in the waters of the Baronía de Les spa and learn about the treatments made with caviar from the Val d’Aran.
The month of caviar is organised by the Conselh Generau d’Aran and Torisme Val d’Aran with the collaboration of Caviar Nacarii and the Grèmi d’Ostalaria dera Val d’Aran
