What each ingredient does

Caviare
Provides the salty, briny flavour that defines the butter.
Butter
Carries the caviare and gives the spread a smooth, rich texture.

The step that matters

Rubbing through the sieve. Pressing the mixture through a fine sieve breaks up any remaining lumps and produces a smooth, even texture. Skipping it leaves a grainy spread.
