It is around the theme of travel that we will celebrate. Travel has always been one of the guiding threads of Kaviari's profession. It has taken them from the shores of the Caspian Sea to the banks of the Amur River, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
It is also linked to the sturgeon itself, this traveling fish that has crossed the waters of the world for millions of years. Like the sturgeon, Caviar fuels the imagination.
- The Polmard butcher shop is run by Alexandre Polmard, a sixth-generation butcher whose lineage is famous for their quality beef offerings since 1846.
- The company’s Blonde d’Aquitaine cattle are raised free-range on the Polmard family farm in Saint-Mihiel, France.
- The business truly distinguished itself in the 1990s when it revolutionized the process of “aging” beef doing it muscle by muscle and creating a unique beef treatment called “hibernation”, conserving the pieces by cold air blowing it at 120km/h in a -43 C setting. Unlike freezing this allows the meat to be kept for a purportedly indefinite amount of time with absolutely no loss of taste or tenderness.
- The resulting beef has captured the attention of renowned chefs across the globe.

- The exceptional cured meats come from GMO free, antibiotic-free and a 100% cereal diet breeding.
- As many chefs began taking interests such as Yves Camdeborde, international demands arose. However, despite the increasing opportunity to shift to mass production, Éric decided to decline avoiding the possibility of foregoing the qualitative production of their Ibaïama pork: key to their reputation.
