Description

The Persicus caviar is the unique caviar from Petrossian, derived from a historical and lesser-known species, the Acipenser persicus. This rare caviar presents a firm yet melting texture reminiscent of Ossetra. It boasts a dark colour with black, grey, or bronze reflections and intense shine, characterised by its exquisite creaminess, freshness, and hints of yolk.
Petrossian continues its commitment to species preservation by introducing this new caviar, which was reintroduced in farming in 2015 on farms located in Madagascar and along the shores of the Caspian Sea. After eight years of working closely with these farms, Petrossian offers its first production of Persicus caviar, a caviar that was previously unavailable.

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 recipes can I make with caviar?

You’ll find a variety of caviar recipe ideas on our blog.

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.

The Chef’s Choice for Persicus

Floral and subtle, the Persicus pairs beautifully with a Greek yogurt cream infused with fine herbs, or with a delicate spring vegetable tartlet where asparagus and peas harmoniously come together.

How to enjoy

To fully savour caviar, use a mother-of-pearl spoon and avoid metal which can alter its delicate flavours. Serve it chilled on a bed of ice, simply accompanied by a blini or light toast. Let each pearl melt on your tongue to reveal its iodized aromas, enhanced by a brut champagne or chilled vodka.

Excellent

Très agréable au palais, il n'a rien à envier aux autres caviars plus connus.

Une bonne decouverte

Différent de ce que nous avions l'habitude de prendre, c'est une excellente découverte. Cela a apporté un contraste fort apprécié.
