Description

Acipentris® caviar is the original caviar from Petrossian. This rare caviar, whose translucent grey reflections are reminiscent of those of Beluga, has a rolling firm texture, then melting like an Ossetra. The tasting experience continues with an explosion of aromas of great complexity. Finally, the finish develops a marked iodized power very characteristic of this caviar with great persistence in the mouth.
In addition to wanting to offer a new tasting experience to caviar lovers, Petrossian wanted to preserve this Acipentris® caviar species of sturgeon from which it comes, Acipenser nudivendris. Bred for the first time on farms located on the shores of the Caspian Sea and Lake Mantasoa in Madagascar, Acipentris® resurrects tastes and flavours from the bygone era of wild caviar, and offers an ultimate caviar experience completely new on the international scene.

How to enjoy caviar ?

Less is more! Caviar is best enjoyed on its own for an introduction, or simply on lightly buttered toast or blinis.

How to serve caviar?

Caviar is best enjoyed with a spoon (also known as a "palette") made of mother-of-pearl, stainless steel, or hard wood. Silver should be avoided to prevent any oxidation. To complement your tasting, discover our selection of caviar serviceware.

Which caviar should I choose for a first tasting?

Ossetra caviar? Baïka® Baeri? Sevruga Steluga®? Daurenki® or Beluga caviar?

To explore our different caviar types and find the one that suits your first tasting experience, we recommend reading the article “Which Caviar to Choose?”, which guides you through the unique characteristics of Petrossian caviars.

What should you drink with caviar?

The pairing of white vodka and caviar is an obvious choice — a perfect match in the purest Russian tradition, especially suitable for strong or briny caviars like Baïka®, Sevruga, or Ossetra Royal.

For milder caviars like Beluga, Daurenki®, or Ossetra Impérial, we recommend a lightly dosed champagne or white wines that offer a balanced mix of acidity and maturity to awaken the palate and let the roe release their subtle marine flavors and delicate notes of dried fruits.

Contrary to popular belief, non-dosage champagnes (brut nature) should be avoided, as their sharpness can overpower the caviar.

Can I eat caviar if I’m pregnant?

As a precaution, we do not recommend that our pregnant customers consume caviar.

However, we can suggest pasteurized alternatives such as our taramas or koshkas, including caviar tarama or our wild salmon roe.
