Polanco Caviar
Polanco is a product originating in the sturgeon farm belonging to Estuario del Plata in the waters of Rio Negro, in South America. A rushing stream that from its source in Brazil to its mouth into the Uruguay River flows through the middle of a country known for its soil fertility, and air and water purity.
In the fresh waters of Rio Negro which get cold in winter and temperate in summer, two decades ago sturgeons found the perfect habitat to naturally grow and spawn the best caviar following traditional method Malossol (low salt in Russian) recognized with the highest 3 Gold Stars Award by the International Taste and Quality Institute.
SAN GREGORIO DE POLANCO, A SMALL TOWN OF ARTISANAL FISHERMEN.
Polanco Caviar pays homage to San Gregorio de Polanco, a town with a population of just over 3,000 located on the northern bank of Rio Negro.
Legend has it that the town was founded on remnants of ancient indigenous peoples who arrived on the river bank looking for the large amount of fish provided by the Hum (the name said people gave to the Rio Negro).
This might be the reason artisanal fishing has always been one of the most common activities in San Gregorio de Polanco.
