Altima Caviar introduces Salt & Sturgeon, a new direct-to-consumer caviar brand created to make one of the world’s most celebrated delicacies feel a little more approachable, while preserving the quality, sourcing and expertise behind every tin.

Shaped by the sea and cured by the salt of the earth, Salt & Sturgeon approaches caviar with a simple philosophy: refined, never intimidating.

From Altima, A New Approach

Since its founding, Altima Caviar has built its reputation through carefully sourced caviar, trusted relationships and a commitment to traceability and responsible sourcing.

Salt & Sturgeon takes that foundation in a new direction.

Created with the consumer in mind, the brand brings exceptional caviar directly to the table, whether that means an intimate dinner at home, a celebration with friends, an unexpected hostess gift or simply opening a tin because Tuesday felt like reason enough.

The idea is not to change the ritual surrounding caviar, but to make it easier to enjoy.

Refined, Never Intimidating

At the heart of Salt & Sturgeon is the belief that luxury should feel generous rather than complicated.

Caviar can come with its own vocabulary, traditions and expectations, which can make choosing a tin feel more intimidating than it needs to be. Salt & Sturgeon strips away some of that formality while protecting what makes the experience special.

The goal is to make the details clear, guide customers toward the right selection and give both longtime caviar lovers and curious newcomers the confidence to make the ritual their own.

A New Creative Identity

Behind the look and feel of Salt & Sturgeon is Gabriella Fasciani, who serves as Creative Director of the new brand. With a passion for branding, the opportunity to build Salt & Sturgeon from the ground up was an exciting creative undertaking for Fasciani. Creating a brand world that evokes emotion through its visual identity, voice and experience is at the heart of her approach.

From its identity to the experience surrounding each tin, Gabriella envisioned Salt & Sturgeon as a brand that could retain the sophistication associated with caviar while feeling fresh, inviting and distinctly modern.

“Salt & Sturgeon was created to share our love of caviar in a way that feels approachable and exceptionally chic. I wanted to build a world around the brand that captures the feeling of enjoying caviar, while making the experience feel inviting rather than intimidating,” says Fasciani.

The result is a brand that feels equally at home beside a beautifully set dinner table, packed as a thoughtful gift or passed around among friends.

A Reason to Open the Tin

Salt & Sturgeon represents a new chapter for Altima and a new way for consumers to experience the expertise behind it.

The sourcing remains thoughtful. The quality remains paramount. What changes is the invitation.

Save it for something special, bring it to dinner or make an ordinary night decidedly less ordinary. Salt & Sturgeon is designed around the idea that enjoying caviar should feel effortless.

After all, sometimes the occasion is simply having the caviar.

September may signal a quieter season in South Florida, but at the table, things are just getting started. Flavor South Florida Restaurant Month returns with special menus across Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, giving diners a reason to revisit longtime favorites, discover new openings, and venture beyond their usual reservations.

Established in 2007, Florida’s largest and longest-running monthlong dining promotion brings together hundreds of participating restaurants each September, with prix fixe lunch, brunch, and dinner menus starting at $25.

Behind the dining deals is a larger mission. September is traditionally one of the slowest months of the year for South Florida restaurants, and Flavor South Florida was created to bring diners through their doors during a time when that support can make a meaningful difference.

New Tables to Try

This year, 33 newcomers join the Restaurant Month lineup, offering plenty of reasons to make a few new reservations.

In Delray Beach, participating newcomers include CAMPI Italian, Gabriella’s Modern Italian, Lulu’s, Geronimo Tequila Bar, Novecento, and Barcelona Wine Bar. West Palm Beach adds several of its newest dining destinations, including Eataly at CityPlace, Del Mar, Lynora’s, Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar, and Osteria by Capri.

Farther north, celebrity chef David Burke’s SeaHawk Prime joins the promotion in Lake Park, while Singer Island welcomes Buccaneer Waterfront Bar & Grill, Ocean Ave Bar & Kitchen, and Ayre at Amrit Ocean Resort.

The newcomers join returning favorites including Café Boulud, Henry’s Palm Beach, 1000 NORTH, Blackbird Modern Asian, Café Chardonnay, Dada, Ke’e Grill, Driftwood, and Kyle G’s Prime Seafood & Steaks.

With everything from Italian and French to Asian, Greek, American, and coastal cuisine represented, the month is less about finding one perfect reservation and more about trying somewhere you might otherwise have overlooked.

Beyond Restaurant Month

While September remains its signature event, Flavor South Florida has grown into a year-round connection between the region’s restaurants and the people who love them.

Private dinners, special events, editorial features, and conversations with local chefs continue throughout the year. Its newest extension, the podcast Forking Around with Flavor South Florida, takes listeners behind the scenes of the local hospitality industry through conversations with chefs and culinary personalities, including many whose restaurants are participating in Restaurant Month.

The podcast is sponsored by Altima Caviar, bringing two locally rooted culinary brands together around a shared appreciation for South Florida’s evolving dining scene.

Make a Reservation

Restaurant Month offers a particularly good excuse to finally book the place that has been sitting on your list, return to the neighborhood table you already love, or discover a chef whose restaurant might become your next regular stop.

And this September, dining out does a little more than satisfy a craving. Every reservation supports the restaurants, chefs, and hospitality teams that keep South Florida’s culinary scene thriving throughout the year.

CollectionSuites Palm Beach has officially surpassed 50% construction completion, marking a major milestone as the vision begins to take physical form ahead of anticipated delivery in early 2027.

Beyond Your Suite 

At the center of the concept are the private suites, each offering owners the opportunity to create an environment entirely their own. Exceptional automobiles and motorcycles may take center stage, but the possibilities extend far beyond the garage. 

Fine art, wine, jewelry, couture, memorabilia, and other collections can all find a home within the suites, reflecting the varied interests of their owners. Custom interiors can incorporate lounges, entertaining areas, and bespoke design elements. 

This is not storage. It is a private extension of the owner’s lifestyle—a space designed around what they collect, how they entertain, and how they choose to experience it.

Privacy by Design

For collections of this caliber, security is as important as presentation. CollectionSuites is being developed around controlled access, advanced surveillance, and a private environment designed to protect both owners and their possessions. 

The combination of deeded ownership, customization, privacy, and security distinguishes the project from conventional storage and garage concepts, giving collectors a dedicated destination with the permanence of a space that is truly their own. 

Beyond the Private Suite 

While each suite offers its own private world, the forthcoming CollectionSuites Clubhouse will bring owners together. 

Designed as the social heart of the property, the Clubhouse will offer an elevated setting for entertaining, connecting with fellow members, and participating in a curated calendar of private gatherings and experiences. 

It introduces a community element to what has traditionally been a solitary pursuit, bringing together automotive enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, art and wine collectors, and others through a shared appreciation for collecting, design, and craftsmanship. 

Watch The Vision Come into View 

With construction now more than halfway complete, CollectionSuites Palm Beach is moving from renderings and plans toward a tangible new addition to the Palm Beach lifestyle. The project remains on track for anticipated delivery in early 2027, when owners will begin making these highly personalized spaces their own. 

For those with an eye toward legacy, this is a rare opportunity to secure something truly personal within Palm Beach’s evolving story.

Luxury in the Florida Keys has long been the destination itself. Clear water, fresh seafood, and an easygoing pace have drawn travelers south for generations. Now, a new chapter is emerging, one centered around elevated dining, craft cocktails, and experiences once reserved for larger luxury markets.

Helping lead that evolution is The Armory Speakeasy, whose newest collaboration introduces one of the world’s most iconic pairings to Key Largo.

A Hidden Speakeasy, A Classic Pairing

Tucked discreetly behind a bunker-style entrance inside the VFW Post in Key Largo, The Armory Speakeasy has quietly become one of the Keys’ most intriguing destinations. Equal parts history and modern hospitality, the intimate cocktail bar has built its reputation on thoughtful drinks and an atmosphere that rewards discovery.

Now, guests can experience an exclusive collaboration between The Armory, Altima Caviar, and Belvedere 10.

The pairing brings together 30 grams of Altima’s Siberian caviar with a perfectly chilled Belvedere 10 Martini, creating an experience that feels both timeless and unexpected in the Florida Keys.

Rather than reinventing luxury, the collaboration celebrates one of its most enduring traditions, elevated through exceptional ingredients and impeccable execution.

A New Era for the Florida Keys

While Palm Beach and Miami have long embraced caviar service and premium spirits, the Keys are beginning to write their own story.

Restaurants and hospitality concepts throughout the region are raising expectations, introducing experiences that blend laid-back island culture with world-class food and beverage programs.

The Armory Speakeasy is among those leading the way, offering a destination where history, craftsmanship, and hospitality intersect in a setting unlike anywhere else in the Keys.

For visitors, it represents another reason to linger after sunset.

For locals, it’s helping redefine what an evening out can look like.

Continuing the Altima Standard

For Altima Caviar, the partnership reflects a broader commitment to bringing exceptional caviar experiences to remarkable destinations.

Today, the company supplies more than 100 restaurants nationwide, including multiple Michelin-starred establishments, while remaining committed to carefully sourced, transparently selected caviars from around the world.

By expanding into Key Largo, Altima continues to support chefs, hospitality partners, and destinations that are shaping the future of luxury dining throughout Florida.

Because sometimes the best caviar service isn’t found in a major city.

Sometimes, it’s waiting behind an unassuming door in the Florida Keys.

The Armory Speakeasy is open Wednesday Through Sunday | 102255 Overseas Hwy Key Largo, FL 33037 | info@thearmoryspeakeasy.com

At Altima Caviar, discovering a new caviar is about finding something distinctive, memorable, and worthy of a place alongside the world’s finest pearls.

Recently, two new Oscietra caviars joined the collection, each offering a completely different expression of one of the most beloved sturgeon varieties in the world. From Spain comes Sombra, a rich and deeply layered caviar with an unexpected cacao finish. From Azerbaijan comes Persicus, a refined and delicate Oscietra prized for its clean, nutty character.

Together, they represent Altima’s continued pursuit of exceptional sourcing and unique flavor profiles.

Oscietra de la Sombra

Sourced from Spain, Oscietra de la Sombra immediately stood apart.

During a sourcing trip to Barcelona, Altima COO Alayna Steinman joined two chefs from Michelin-awarded Goodnight Hospitality to taste a selection of Oscietra caviars. One in particular captured the group’s attention, its dark, lustrous pearls offering remarkable depth and complexity.

“Upon seeing the beautiful sheen of the pearls, I asked what it was called,” recalls Steinman. “The farm told us the caviar had not yet been named. It reminded me of a beautiful shadow, so we chose Sombra as a tribute to both its appearance and its Spanish roots.”

The medium-large pearls reveal classic Oscietra characteristics: rich ocean brine, layered nuttiness, and a surprisingly elegant cacao finish.

Executive Chef/ Owner Felipe Riccio of Houston’s Michelin-starred March described the caviar’s depth as unlike anything else in the tasting lineup. The lingering cacao notes have even earned it a nickname among chefs: the dessert caviar, making appearances in unexpected sweet applications where its savory richness creates remarkable balance.

While equally at home alongside a Meursault, Blanc de Blancs Champagne, or fine Scotch, one of our favorite pairings is Raventós i Blanc De Nit Rosat 2023. Its freshness and acidity beautifully elevate the caviar’s savory richness, creating an elegant and uniquely Spanish feeling.

Persicus Oscietra

If Sombra is bold and layered, Persicus is elegant and restrained.

Sourced from Azerbaijan, this farm-raised Iranian Oscietra immediately stood out during Altima’s tasting process for its remarkably clean finish and nuanced flavor profile. The light grey pearls offer a delicate pop and reveal notes of fresh hazelnut, prosciutto, and roasted nuts that disappear gracefully across the palate.

The result is a caviar of extraordinary balance, one that invites another bite before the first has fully finished.

Today, Persicus can be found on menus at Meat Market Tampa and The Hedges Inn in East Hampton, where chefs have embraced its versatility and subtle complexity.

COO Alayna Steinman’s favorite pairing may be the most unexpected.

“Add it to a bowl of pho,” she suggests. “The broth brings out the savory and nutty notes in a really beautiful way.”

Looking Ahead

As Altima continues expanding its collection, Sombra and Persicus represent the type of discoveries that keep the pursuit exciting: caviars with distinct personalities, memorable stories, and flavors that linger long after the final bite.

For football fans, Sombra has already earned another distinction. Featuring a custom World Cup-inspired label designed by Gabriella Fasciani, it has become Altima’s official World Cup selection and is now available online and at the company’s newly opened Houston location.

Whether you’re drawn to the rich depth of Sombra or the understated elegance of Persicus, both offer a reminder that even within the world of Oscietra, there is always something new to discover.

In a unanimous decision, the Palm Beach Town Council approved plans for an Italian villa-inspired condominium redevelopment at 3301 South Ocean Boulevard, replacing the former Palm Beach Resort & Beach Club property with a more intimate residential vision rooted in architecture, scale, and landscape.

The approval marks an important milestone for the project, which has already drawn praise from council members for its sensitivity to Palm Beach’s historic character and its departure from the larger-scale developments often associated with waterfront redevelopment.

A Considered Approach to Development

Situated on a man-made peninsula along the Intracoastal Waterway, the proposed development introduces just 12 residences, emphasizing low-density living and a more residential scale. Designed in the spirit of Mediterranean and Italian villa architecture, the project favors courtyards, varied rooflines, textured façades, and landscaped open spaces over a more conventional condominium approach.

Town Council President Ted Cooney described the proposal as “such an architectural marvel,” noting that the development felt aligned with the vision Palm Beach’s founders may have imagined for the town’s public-facing spaces.

Rooted in Palm Beach Character

The property has been owned since 2022 by Copperline Partners, led by developer and real estate investor Richard Schlesinger. Plans call for the peninsula to be transformed into a private island setting through the excavation of a portion of the connecting land, introducing an even greater sense of separation and exclusivity.

The development will feature a private roadway extending through the property and terminating in a central piazza, reinforcing the project’s village-like atmosphere. Unlike the existing center-aligned structure currently on site, the new residences will be positioned along the edges of the property, creating a more open relationship with the surrounding water and landscape.

Though several variance requests were required for approval, council members ultimately expressed support for the overall vision, citing the project’s architectural integrity and its commitment to preserving the scale and character long associated with Palm Beach.

Landscape and Architectural History

Fairfax & Sammons have positioned the project within a broader architectural dialogue tied closely to both Palm Beach and the Mediterranean. References include Addison Mizner’s work along Lake Worth, the historic La Fleur Du Cap Villa, and the lakeside villas of Lake Como, influences reflected in the layered façades, shifting building heights, and intimate green courtyards woven throughout the property.

Landscape architecture also plays a central role in the redevelopment. Plans include new mangrove plantings along the water’s edge, in collaboration with MANG Consulting Services, to stabilize the shoreline and restore native ecology. The site’s hardscape and drainage systems have been carefully engineered to support lush landscaping without compromising performance, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on integrating architecture with the surrounding environment.

Rather than maximizing density, the development focuses on scale, movement, and connection to the waterfront, creating what the design team describes as a calm architectural backdrop along the causeway and South End shoreline.

Le Bilboquet Market‘s new collaboration with Altima Caviar, has brought a curated selection of globally sourced caviars to Palm Beach’s favorite gourmet destination. Now available at the market’s salty island are three signature varieties from the female-run local company: Siberian from Georgia, Beluga Hybrid from Bulgaria, and Platinum from Moldova.

Offered in 30g, 100g, and 250g tins, the collection reflects a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, quality, and elevated everyday experiences.

Located on the corner of Peruvian and Cocoanut, Le Bilboquet Market has quickly become a daily stop for those seeking a more refined approach to the everyday. Modeled after a European gourmet shoppe, the store sells pastries, prepared foods, specialty imports, and curated pantry staples.

“We are thrilled to be working with a beloved, local brand that is known for sourcing the highest quality caviar in the world,” said Erin Herz, manager of Le Bilboquet Market.

For Altima, the partnership felt aligned from the start.

“At Altima Caviar, we’re always drawn to partners who share our appreciation for craftsmanship and elevated experiences, which made Le Bilboquet Market a natural fit,” said Gabriella Fasciani, Director of VIP Relations for Altima Caviar.

The collaboration also introduces a custom visual element unique to the Market. The Le Bilboquet collection features bespoke labels designed by Gabriella Fasciani in collaboration with local artist Sienna Barefoot, whose hand-drawn illustration of the market appears on the Beluga Hybrid tins.

Surrounded by European charcuterie, Parisian chocolates, Provençal honey, and Costa Rican coffee, Altima Caviar settles naturally into the Market’s intentionally curated world. Whether picked up for an intimate dinner, a hostess gift, or an impromptu indulgence, the collaboration is sure to be a fan favorite.

In a town defined by collecting, from art and automobiles to the objects that tell a life’s story, space is rarely just functional. It should be personal and intentional. CollectionSuites Palm Beach enters that conversation with a concept designed not simply for storage, but for ownership in its fullest sense. First introduced in Miami in 2018, CollectionSuites quickly found its audience. The original project sold out, signaling a demand that extended beyond practicality into something more nuanced, a desire for spaces that reflect the mindset of those who collect with purpose.

A Measured Arrival

Construction officially began in January 2026, marked by an intimate ribbon-cutting that introduced the project to Palm Beach. Now approximately 30 percent complete, the development is progressing steadily toward its anticipated completion in early 2027.

The scale remains intentionally limited. Just 20 private suites will be brought to market, each fully customizable, offering a rare level of control over both design and function.

Beyond Storage

Conceived by founder and CEO Juan Manuel Fayen, himself a collector, the project is rooted in a clear understanding of what it means to preserve something of value. Each suite is designed as an extension of its owner’s world, a private environment with clear intention.

CollectionSuites is not positioned as a traditional storage facility. Instead, it is being developed as a lifestyle destination, where collectors can not only protect their assets, but engage with them.

Each suite is designed with soaring ceilings, climate control, advanced ventilation, and hurricane-rated construction, paired with features that elevate the experience of ownership. Mezzanines ranging from 500 to 1,300 square feet, private kitchenettes, wine cellars, and integrated entertainment systems transform the space into something livable rather than utilitarian.

Technology plays a quiet but central role. A proprietary app allows owners to manage security, access, and suite operations seamlessly, while concierge services coordinate transport, maintenance, and curation as needed.

A Community of Like Minds

At the heart of the project will be a private clubhouse, designed as a gathering space where owners can host, connect, and share in a collective appreciation for what they preserve.

It is here that the project shifts from individual ownership to community, bringing together collectors who understand not just the value of objects, but the stories behind them.

In a market often defined by visibility, CollectionSuites offers something quieter. As construction continues, the project signals a broader shift in how luxury is perceived, not by display, but by intention.

Now Accepting Inquiries

A limited number of suites are available by private appointment. For those with an eye toward legacy, this is a rare opportunity to secure something truly personal within Palm Beach’s evolving story.

For young people eager to spend time on the water, knowledge can be just as important as experience. A new collaboration between Loggerhead Marinelife Center and the Perry J. Cohen Foundation is turning that idea into action with the launch of the Perry J. Cohen Boating Safety & Ocean Stewardship Course, a free educational program designed for teens and young adults.

The two-day course will be offered throughout the year at Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach and the Chapman School of Seamanship in Stuart, with the inaugural class scheduled for March 2026. Together, the organizations aim to equip the next generation with critical boating skills while fostering a deep respect for the marine ecosystems that surround us.

Honoring a Legacy Through Education

The program carries special meaning. It is named in honor of Perry J. Cohen, whose love of the ocean continues to inspire positive change.

“Collaborating with Loggerhead Marinelife Center allows us to continue honoring Perry’s legacy in a meaningful and lasting way,” said Pamela Cohen, founder of the Perry J. Cohen Foundation and Perry’s mother. “By educating young people on boating safety and ocean stewardship, we are honoring Perry’s memory while helping protect lives and the waters he loved.”

Participants will begin with classroom instruction covering boating fundamentals, maritime laws, safety equipment, vessel operations and navigation. From there, learning moves onto the water at the Chapman School of Seamanship, where students will apply their skills in real-world conditions.

Upon completion, participants will meet the requirements to obtain a Florida Boating Safety Education Identification Card, which is required to operate all powerboats in the state.

Perry J. Cohen

Access Without Barriers

What sets this course apart is its dual focus on safety and conservation. Loggerhead Marinelife Center specialists will teach participants about marine life behavior and how to avoid harmful interactions while boating. Students will also learn how to respond to common on-water emergencies, including spotting injured wildlife, and will enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes look inside LMC’s renowned Sea Turtle Hospital.

“We are incredibly grateful and thrilled for this partnership with the Perry J. Cohen Foundation,” said Hannah Campbell, Vice President of Education at Loggerhead Marinelife Center. “This course will transform the next generation of boaters into confident, capable navigators and fierce, informed protectors of sea turtles.”

The result is an experience that goes far beyond a boating lesson—instilling responsibility, awareness and respect for the ocean environment.

Thanks to the support of the Perry J. Cohen Foundation and the partnership with Chapman School of Seamanship, the course is offered completely free of charge. The program is open to participants ages 14 and up, ensuring broad access for young people across the region.

For families, the course offers peace of mind and practical skills. For the community, it represents an investment in safer waterways and healthier oceans.
