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.

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

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.

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.

Unopened, caviar can be kept in the refrigerator at 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) for about one month.

Once opened, it must be consumed within 24 hours, and stored in the fridge.

Caviar should never be frozen, as it would alter its texture.

Caviar should be enjoyed using a special spoon (also known as a "palette") made of mother-of-pearl, stainless steel, or hardwood. Silver is to be avoided, as it can oxidize and alter the taste of the caviar.

Less is more! Caviar is best enjoyed on its own for a first tasting, or simply served on lightly buttered toast or blinis.

Our caviar comes from various carefully selected farms around the world that strictly adhere to Petrossian’s quality standards. These partner farms are located:

– In Europe, including France, Bulgaria, Italy, and Poland

– In other regions such as South America, Asia, and Africa

You can find the specific origin of each caviar in its product description under “More product information.”

Immediately after harvesting, the caviar is shipped to Petrossian’s workshops in Paris, New York, and London, where our caviar experts begin the refinement and classification process. This maturation phase lasts from 3 to 12 months, depending on the caviar and the desired intensity of flavor.

This Petrossian know-how transforms a raw, salty caviar into one with developed, complex, and signature aromas, worthy of great caviar.

Yes. Thanks to strict cold-chain control, buying caviar online is completely safe.

Buying caviar online has never been so reliable:

guaranteed freshness, fast delivery, certified quality.

Our caviar is packaged at the source and shipped in a refrigerated insulated box to ensure perfect freshness, identical to what you would find in our boutique.

The cold chain is strictly monitored, and each tin is fully traceable to guarantee quality, safety, and optimal flavor.

You receive caviar that is just as fresh, pure, and delicate as if you had purchased it in-store.

Opening a tin of caviar is simple, but it should be done with the same delicacy as the product inside.

Use our caviar key: slide it under the rim and gently lift to break the seal effortlessly.

If you don’t have one, a coin or a small spoon can also be used to create a slight opening by carefully levering it.

For a festive meal, it’s ideal to choose a caviar that is both refined, expressive, and suited to the moment you wish to create. At Petrossian, several selections are sure to impress your guests: Beluga Caviar, especially in the Tsar Impérial® version, is the most prestigious, with large grains and a creamy texture; perfect for an exceptional dinner. For a chic aperitif, Ossetra Tsar Impérial®, Baeri Baïka®, or Daurenki® Royal caviars offer a remarkable balance of finesse, intensity, and versatility. If you want to accompany a dish without overpowering its flavors, opt for more harmonious varieties such as Baeri Baïka® Royal or Ossetra Royal. For quantity, count about 15–20 g per person for a pure tasting, slightly less if the caviar accompanies a dish. Serve very fresh, on ice, with a mother-of-pearl spoon, and pair with brut champagne, chilled vodka, blinis, or brioche. Petrossian also offers festive gift sets including caviar, blinis, and accessories, perfect for enhancing a festive meal or giving an exceptional gift. Store caviar at 0–4°C and consume within 24 hours of opening to preserve its full delicacy.

Among caviars, the mildest and least salty are generally those whose maturation is carefully controlled to preserve the roundness of the grains and limit the briny intensity. At Petrossian, several selections stand out for their exceptional softness. Daurenki® Royal Caviar is often cited as one of the most delicate: its golden grains, supple texture, and slightly buttery flavor make it particularly approachable, perfect for those seeking a very mild, low-salt taste. Ossetra Tsar Impérial® Caviar also offers great harmony, with notes of dried fruit and perfectly controlled saltiness, giving an impression of smoothness on the palate. For an even finer experience, the “Tsar Impérial®” caviars are crafted in the Petrossian tradition, with precise aging that emphasizes elegance rather than power. Finally, Baeri Baïka® Royal, more straightforward but still moderate in salt, is a good option to discover a mild caviar without losing the product’s typical character. In all cases, a lightly salted caviar reveals its nuances best when served very fresh and enjoyed simply, with a spoon or on a neutral blini, to fully appreciate its natural mildness.

The best caviar is not necessarily the one with the most prestigious name, but the one that matches your taste and the experience you wish to have. At Petrossian, several varieties are renowned for their exceptional quality: Beluga Tsar Impérial®, with its large grains and creamy texture, is a prestigious caviar appreciated for its finesse and length on the palate. Ossetra Tsar Impérial®, with notes of dried fruit and subtle balance, appeals to those seeking a refined and elegant flavor, while Baeri Baïka® Royal or Daurenki® Royal offer milder, more approachable tastes, ideal for discovering caviar without excessive intensity. In reality, the “best” caviar is the one that gives you the most pleasure when tasting, whether powerful, briny, subtle, or creamy. Petrossian offers a varied range allowing you to choose according to your personal preferences, the moment of tasting, and pairing with dishes or aperitifs, turning every tasting into a unique experience.

Following the Grenelle Environmental Forum, the common Triman symbol came into effect on January 1, 2015. Its purpose is to inform consumers about the recyclability of packaging or the products themselves. As our packaging is subject to sorting instructions, Petrossian applies the Triman logo on most of its packaging. This logo is intended to help consumers distinguish between recyclable and non-recyclable elements. In case of doubt when sorting your packaging, you can refer to this logo. If it is not present on the packaging due to space constraints, you can access sorting instructions online at www.consignesdetri.fr. For any additional questions, please contact our customer service.
