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 hosting size of Keta salmon roe. 250g, about half a pound, for brunches, dinner parties and households that cook with red roe every week.
At 250g, Keta (Oncorhynchus keta) becomes a feature ingredient rather than a special-occasion treat. Top eggs Benedict or a smoked salmon platter for brunch. Make gunkan-maki for a sushi night at home. Spoon it onto blini and rye crackers for a cocktail party.
The flavor is bright, clean and directly briny, and it works at scale because it needs no explanation. Guests who rarely eat caviar will recognize Keta as the red caviar they know. The pearls pop, the brine releases, and the finish is clean.
Keep refrigerated and enjoy by the date on the lid.

How much caviar per person
The most common mistake first-time buyers make is under-buying. Caviar is meant to be tasted in real portions, 10 to 15 grams per bite, and those portions add up quickly.

What people say about our sets
Reviews of our tasting sets-
★★★★★
Such a nice caviar sampler! I loved being able to try a few different varieties in one set instead of choosing just one. Each tin had its own flavor and texture, and everything tasted fresh and high quality. The portions are great for a tasting or a date night at home. Packaging was beautiful and the included accessories made serving really easy. I would definitely recommend this set as a gift or for anyone who wants to explore different types of caviar.

Bought this set to try a few things at once, and it turned out to be such a fun experience. The caviar tasted clean and delicate, with each tin disappearing way too quickly 😄 But the caviar butter was the real unexpected favorite — creamy, savory, and perfect on warm toast. The whole box felt special without being too formal. Definitely something I’d order again for a weekend treat or when friends come over.

Okay, this set was SO good. We got it for a little dinner at home and honestly ended up finishing almost everything 😅 The Osetra was super fresh and buttery, and the caviar butter was such a surprise — didn’t expect to love it that much. Everything arrived cold and beautifully packed too. Definitely a splurge, but I’d order this again for a special night.
