The Hansen Caviar Company Gourmet Foods closes it's doors

It is with great sadness that I'm writing about the closing of the Hansen Caviar Company Gourmet Foods, in Lake Katrine, NY. The Hansen Caviar Company Gourmet Foods was the very first local outlet to start carrying my gourmet Caribbean Jerk Sauce Marinades, Caribbean Hot Sauce and Portuguese Repolho Relish and Michael was a great source of advice. The store was located in Rt 28 in Kingston then but moved to the Lake Katrine location a few months ago.

The Hansen Family established the Caviar business in Europe in 1869 and up till now, the Hansen Caviar Company had been the oldest caviar house in existence, with six generations of experience in the specialty food trade. It's a big loss not only to the global industry but to the local gourmet & specialty food industry here in the Hudson Valley, NY as well.

I'll miss working with owner Michael Hansen, a great guy and valued Baron's International Kitchen partner. Hope we'll soon be hearing about his next venture real soon.
