The Different Types of Caviar

Beluga Caviar

Beluga Caviar is associated with exceptionally large pearls, delicate texture and a refined, lingering finish. It is particularly suited to special occasions when the caviar is intended to be the centrepiece of the experience.

Ossetra Caviar

Ossetra Caviar is known for its balanced texture and aromatic complexity. Depending on the selection, it can reveal marine, buttery or subtly nutty notes, making it one of the most versatile choices for both first tastings and sophisticated dinners.

Baeri Caviar

Baeri Caviar, including Baeri Baïka®, is characterised by small, delicate pearls and a more pronounced briny and mineral profile. It is an excellent choice for pairing with food, particularly seafood-based dishes.

Daurenki Caviar

Daurenki Caviar has large, luminous golden-bronze pearls and a characteristic buttery profile. Its balance and approachable character make it particularly suitable for a first tasting.

Sevruga Caviar

Sevruga Caviar is distinguished by its small pearls and pronounced aromatic intensity. Its delicate texture and marine character make it an interesting option for experienced caviar lovers looking for a more expressive profile.

What Is Caviar?

Caviar in Hong Kong refers to premium sturgeon roe that has been lightly salted and matured to develop its characteristic texture and flavour. Its profile depends on several factors, including the species of sturgeon, origin, grain size, colour, salting method and maturation. Premium caviar can reveal delicate marine, buttery, mineral or nutty notes, with textures ranging from firm and rolling to exceptionally soft and melting. The most recognised varieties include Beluga, Ossetra, Baeri and Sevruga. For buyers in Hong Kong, the quality of the product, its traceability and the conditions in which it is transported are just as important as the variety itself.

How Much Caviar Should You Plan Per Person?

The quantity depends on whether the caviar is served as a tasting, starter, accompaniment or centrepiece of a meal.

Quantity	Recommended use
10–15 g per person	Caviar served as an accompaniment or part of a larger menu
20–30 g per person	Standard tasting or generous starter
30–50 g per person	More generous tasting or special dinner
125 g+	Reception, private dinner or larger celebration

For a pure tasting, around 20–30 g per person is a useful guideline. If caviar accompanies other dishes, a smaller quantity can be sufficient.

What to Serve with Caviar?

Caviar is traditionally associated with blinis, toast, potatoes, eggs, crème fraîche, Champagne and vodka. In Hong Kong, however, it can also be incorporated into Asian-inspired dishes, creating a bridge between French gastronomic traditions and local culinary culture.

Caviar with Sushi and Sashimi

Caviar can be used as a finishing ingredient on delicate sushi or sashimi preparations. Its salty, marine character works particularly well with fresh seafood, while the texture of the pearls adds contrast to raw fish.

For a refined presentation, a small amount of Ossetra or Baeri can be placed on top of scallop, tuna, salmon or sea bass preparations without overwhelming the main ingredient.

Caviar and Dim Sum

Caviar can bring a luxurious finishing touch to selected dim sum creations. Steamed seafood dumplings, scallop-based preparations or delicate shrimp dumplings can provide a natural base for a small quantity of caviar.

The key is restraint: the caviar should enhance the dish rather than compete with its flavours.

Caviar for Chinese New Year

Caviar can also be incorporated into a Chinese New Year menu as a premium ingredient associated with celebration, sharing and hospitality.

It can be served with seafood dishes, delicate dumplings or contemporary festive creations, offering a French gastronomic interpretation of traditional celebratory dining.

Caviar with Asian Seafood

The natural marine character of caviar makes it particularly compatible with seafood commonly enjoyed in Asian cuisine.

Consider pairing it with:

• scallops;
• prawns;
• lobster;
• sea bass;
• crab;
• sashimi;
• lightly seasoned seafood tartares.

The best pairings generally use mild seasoning so that the texture and flavour of the caviar remain perceptible.

Caviar and Luxury Gifts in Hong Kong

Caviar is particularly well suited to luxury gifting in Hong Kong, where premium food and fine dining are closely associated with celebrations and hospitality.

For an elegant gift, consider:

• Small caviar tins for a first tasting or personal gift;
• Caviar gift boxes for birthdays and celebrations;
• Ossetra or Beluga for weddings;
• Premium caviar selections for corporate gifts;
• Caviar gift sets for Chinese New Year and festive occasions.

Small Caviar Tins are available in different sizes, while Caviar Gift Boxes offer curated formats designed specifically for gifting.

How Is Caviar Delivered in Hong Kong?

Caviar requires careful temperature control during transport. In Hong Kong's warm and humid climate, maintaining the cold chain is particularly important.

Orders should be transported in suitable insulated packaging and kept refrigerated throughout delivery. The Hong Kong online store currently highlights cold-chain delivery and refrigerated delivery options.

When receiving caviar:

1. Check the product and packaging immediately.
2. Place the caviar in the refrigerator.
3. Follow the storage temperature indicated on the packaging.
4. Take the tin out shortly before serving.
5. Avoid leaving caviar at room temperature for extended periods.

Can Caviar Be Delivered Safely in Hong Kong's Climate?

Yes, provided that the cold chain is properly maintained throughout transport.

Caviar should remain refrigerated between 0°C and 4°C when this temperature range is indicated for the product. Insulated refrigerated packaging helps protect the product during delivery, while rapid delivery limits the time spent in transit.

How to Store Caviar

Before opening, keep caviar refrigerated according to the temperature indicated on the product.

For products requiring refrigerated storage, the recommended temperature is generally 0°C to 4°C.

Once opened, caviar should be consumed promptly and stored in the refrigerator. The product should not be frozen, as freezing can affect the texture of the pearls.

Caviar, Traceability and International Regulations

International trade in sturgeon and caviar is subject to specific regulations, including CITES requirements for protected species.

When buying caviar internationally, traceability is an important consideration. Product information should identify the sturgeon species, origin and relevant regulatory information.

This information is particularly important when purchasing premium caviar for delivery across borders.
