Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.

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.

How long does your caviar keep?

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.

How should caviar be served?

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.

How should caviar be enjoyed?

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

What are the origins of your caviars ?

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.

Baeri Caviar

This caviar has a briny dominance paired with an intense flavour, and always impresses even the most demanding of caviar-lovers with its complex taste and long finish.

A sweet and fruity caviar

Baeri Baïka® caviar eggs are smaller and darker than the other caviars on offer. Generally speaking, it has a very pure flavour, highlighted by a dominantly briny taste. The very delicate texture of the Baeri Baïka® Royal caviar is made up of small yet soft eggs that are dark brown in colour. On the palate, its pure flavour opens our taste buds up to a dominantly briny taste, after which we can savour subtle mineral notes. In the Tsar Impérial™ selection, Baeri Baïka® ranges from dark grey to black. The first impression in the mouth is very rich, and quickly gives way to dominantly woody notes and a harmony of fruit and seafood.

The Siberian sturgeon

The Acipenser baeri sturgeon originated in Siberia. In the 1980s, it was used as a reference for studying sturgeon farming. Petrossian has featured this caviar in their catalogue since 1998. We have actively participated in its rise in popularity and in farming-production quality, especially in France, but in other countries as well. Today, Baeri Baïka® caviar can hail from France, China, or Germany. However, the geographical location of the sturgeon farming does not affect the flavours of the caviar. It is actually the species of sturgeon that gives the eggs their unique characteristics.
