About King’s Fine Food

 

FOUNDER AND QUEEN OF CAVIAR – LAURA KING MBE

Laura King Queen of Caviar!

Laura King MBE is widely regarded as the UK’s leading caviar expert and was the first caviar importer to introduce DNA testing to guarantee the provenance of King’s caviar. Laura was first introduced to fine foods as Director of European Purchasing for Philippine Airlines, including purchasing caviar. She then moved to Air Europe before being headhunted by W.G. White Ltd. There, Laura used her many years observing people as they sold to her and it wasn’t long before she became Sales Director. This invaluable experience left her with an extraordinary knowledge of caviar, gained over 14 years.

In 2004, Laura decided to use her expertise to found her own business. With the support of her late husband, Executive Chef, John King and children Holly and Harry, King’s Fine Food was born. Son Harry is currently training to be a photographer so is also likely to offer support on the promise of his favourite Amedei chocolate, another of the company’s best-selling fine food products.

Laura is a self-confessed ‘foodie’. And her passion and drive take her to the four corners of the globe to source the world’s very finest foods.

“I’m proud to represent outstanding companies and supply some of the world’s finest foodhalls, restaurants, hotels and airlines,” says Laura, “I’m passionate about our products and delighted to bring them to both trade and retail customers through this website”.
