Roe vs. weed next caviar battle

CHICAGO, March 13 (UPI) -- A Danish product that looks like caviar but tastes like seaweed because that's what it's made from is making small inroads in the United States.

An unexpected boon for Cavi-Art came in January, when a U.N. agency announced a temporary halt of caviar exports from the main caviar-producing nations along the Caspian and Black Seas because of "serious population declines" of sturgeon.

Jan Petersen, senior trade adviser for the Danish Trade Commission in Montreal, which is working with three U.S. distributors to introduce Cavi-Art to U.S. consumers, told the Chicago Sun-Times Cavi-Art has the "same texture, feeling and burst" of the real thing.

But it's cholesterol- and fat-free and has less sodium than caviar, and costs $8 for 3.5 ounces. A 4-ounce tin of prized beluga caviar sold by New York-based distributor Paramount Caviar runs about $700.

So far, Cavi-Art is only available for sale online and in a small grocery chain near Seattle.
