Caviar Serving Sizes
Caviar servings directly relate to the number of people that the caviar can satisfy.
If you are concerned about having too much caviar and want to prevent spoilage, you can split your order by ordering multiples of a smaller unit of caviar. This allows you to open one unit at a time and then open the remaining caviar units as needed.

How to Serve Your Caviar and Roe
Step 1: Proper Storage & Temperature
Keep your caviar and roe refrigerated at 28°F to 32°F until you're ready to serve. Remove from the refrigerator 10-15 minutes before serving to acclimate to the ambient temperature. Caviar and roe should be served chilled but not ice-cold, as extreme cold mutes the delicate flavors.
Step 2: Choose the Right Serving Vessel
Use non-metallic serving spoons to prevent a metallic taste from clashing with your caviar and roe. Mother-of-pearl, bone, or plastic spoons are the best options. Serve in small glass or ceramic bowls nested over crushed ice to maintain a safe temperature. If you don't have serving bowls, you may place the opened caviar tins in a bowl of crushed ice. The tins have food-safe varnish that prevents a metallic taste.
Step 3: Portion Appropriately
Plan for ½-1 ounce per person as an appetizer with other foods so all guests can have "a taste." For a full caviar portion, serve 1 ounce per person. Use a gentle touch when portioning and never press or crush the delicate pearls.
Step 4: Select Complementary Accompaniments
Serve with items that complement without overpowering the mild, nuanced flavors. We recommend:
- Blinis or toast points (unsalted)
- Crème fraîche, light sour cream, or clotted cream
- Champagne, vodka, or crisp white wines
Pro-Tip: Skip the chives, red onions, chopped eggs, and other accompaniments in a traditional caviar service. These traditional accompaniments were introduced when preservation methods required heavily salting the caviar. With today's advanced refrigeration methods, caviar does not need to be over-salted and you can enjoy the caviar's true flavor profiles.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy Immediately
Present your caviar and roe just before serving. Invite your guests to take small portions and savor slowly on the palate to appreciate complex flavors and texture. Enjoy within 2 hours of opening and never leave at room temperature for extended periods.
Pairings
Siberian (Baerii) Sturgeon shines alongside fine Brut or sparkling rosé champagnes, their effervescence enhancing its delicate oceanic layers. Ice-cold premium vodka in frosted glasses pays homage to Siberian tradition, while warm blinis and rich crème fraîche provide elegant, complementary pairings. These classic presentations highlight the caviar’s cold-water origins and the hardy nature of the Siberian sturgeon. Every detail reflects centuries of regional heritage and refined caviar craftsmanship.

The Art of Tasting Caviar
Observe
Observe the caviar's appearance before tasting. Quality caviar displays uniform, glossy pearls with consistent size and color. The grains should appear clearly defined and intact, not broken nor overly soft.
Smell
Experience the aroma of the caviar with a gentle inhale. Fresh caviar should have a clean, oceanic scent that resembles a fresh sea breeze.
Texture
Place a small amount of caviar on your tongue and gently press against the roof of your mouth. Quality caviar should have a slight "pop" when enjoyed. The texture should be firm yet yielding, never overly soft or hard. Each pearl should burst individually, creating a pleasant textural contrast.
First Taste
Focus on the immediate flavor that hits your palate when the pearls burst. This first impression often includes the primary characteristics whether it's briny, creamy, or mineral-forward. Quality caviar should taste clean and fresh, never overly salty or harsh.
Savor
Allow the caviar to coat your palate and focus on the flavor progression as it develops. Secondary notes may emerge such as buttery, nutty, subtle mineral notes, or even hints of sweetness. Quality caviar finishes clean without lingering saltiness or off-flavors. Take your time as the full flavor profile continues to evolve over several seconds.
