How to Eat Caviar
Caviar is easier to eat than the mythology around it suggests. Most "caviar etiquette" is hotel marketing or first-timer anxiety. The actual rules are few, and they're about taste, not ceremony.
The flagship tin. 250g of Beluga Hybrid — the largest single-tin format of the rarest species we carry. Our most expensive single product.
This is the tin you don't buy casually. The 250g Beluga Hybrid (Huso huso × Acipenser ruthenus) is for the moment when caviar needs to be unmissable — a major milestone, a corporate gesture at the highest level, a private event for guests who measure occasions in five-figures.
What you're paying for: 12-15 years from sturgeon spawn to harvested roe (longer than any other species), the largest pearls in legal sturgeon caviar, a finish that runs 60-90 seconds, and a texture closer to wild Beluga than anything else legally imported to the US since 2005. The species was bred specifically to recreate what was lost when wild Beluga became impossible to source — and at this scale, the result is unmistakable.
The tin presented at the centre of a dinner table commands attention without explanation. Guests who recognise it understand the gesture. Guests who don't will understand it within the first spoonful.

How should I choose the right caviar size?
For a first tasting or a small garnish, choose 14g or 28g. For two people, 56g is a great size. For hosting, gifting, or a full caviar service, we recommend 125g or 250g.
How much caviar do I need per person?
For tasting, plan around 14g per person. For a generous serving or caviar service, plan 28g–56g per person, depending on how it will be served.
What is the difference between Kaluga Hybrid, Beluga Hybrid, Osetra, Siberian, and White Sturgeon caviar?
Each caviar has its own flavor profile. Kaluga Hybrid is smooth, buttery, and refined. Beluga Hybrid is delicate, creamy, and luxurious. Osetra is nutty and complex. Siberian is bold, briny, and classic. White Sturgeon is clean, elegant, and approachable.
How should I store caviar?
Keep caviar refrigerated at all times. Store it in the coldest part of your refrigerator and avoid freezing. Once opened, enjoy it as soon as possible for the best flavor and texture.
What does caviar pair well with?
Caviar pairs beautifully with blinis, crème fraîche, caviar butter, potato chips, soft-boiled eggs, champagne, dry sparkling wine, or chilled vodka.

How much caviar per person
The single most common mistake first-time caviar buyers make is under-buying. They see the price per tin and order the smallest size, expecting a small tin of an expensive food to go a long way. It doesn't. Caviar is meant to be tasted in real portions — 10 to 15 grams per bite — and those portions add up quickly.
