For Beginners
Caviar Set for Your First Tasting
Curiosity is usually what brings people to caviar for the first time, along with a little uncertainty about where to start.
The good news: caviar is far more approachable than its reputation suggests, especially when you begin with the right introduction.
A good caviar set does the thinking for you — pairing a beginner caviar with everything traditionally served alongside it, so there's nothing to source and nothing to get wrong. That's the idea behind our caviar starter kits.
From here, the only real decision is how you'd like to begin — a simple and focused tasting or a journey through several caviars for a more elaborate experience.
A Simple First Experience
The First Experience is our most popular way in, built around Siberian caviar — widely considered the best starter caviar for newcomers thanks to its clean, nutty finish.
Prefer to begin a step up? The Elevated Experience offers the same effortless introduction with Osetra caviar for a touch more complexity.
A Journey Through Three
Some palates would rather explore before they commit. The Discovery Trio and The Heritage Edition bring three distinct caviars into a single set, so you can taste them one after another — noting how each differs in texture, salinity, and finish — and discover, in real time, which one you love most.
Think of it as the caviar equivalent of a wine flight: less about choosing correctly, more about discovering your own palate.
However you begin, our caviar kits are delivered fast, temperature-controlled, and completely worry-free.
PS: they also make for incredible gifts.

For Gift-Giving
Caviar Gift Set for Every Occasion
There are gifts that get used, and there are gifts that get remembered.
A tin of caviar, opened at a dinner table or savoured quietly on its own, tends to fall into the second category — the kind of gift that turns an ordinary evening into an occasion, whether it's a milestone birthday, a holiday table, or simply a way of telling someone they matter.
The right caviar gift set depends a little on who it's for. For someone just discovering caviar, a Siberian caviar gift basket — mild, clean, and effortless to enjoy — is a graceful place to start.
For a recipient with a more adventurous palate, an Osetra caviar gift set offers a touch more depth, the kind of small luxury that feels instantly royal. And for those who'd rather taste their way through several at once, The Heritage Edition — a luxury caviar gift set built around three caviars, including a rare Beluga — makes for an unforgettable one.
For a gift meant to feel truly lavish, The Gourmet Caviar Experience and The Signature Caviar Experience pair caviar with black truffle and smoked fish — a luxury caviar gift box for someone who already has everything, and appreciates knowing exactly how much thought went into finding something they don't.
Hosting rather than gifting one-on-one? The Seafood Party Starter is built for sharing — a roe-based gift for the table, not just a single spoon.
Every caviar gift box ships fast and temperature-controlled, arriving exactly as beautifully as it left us.

For the Curious Palate
Caviar Tasting Set & Sampler Flights
There's more than one reason to order a caviar tasting flight — sometimes called a caviar variety pack.
Maybe you can't decide between your favourites and would rather have them all in front of you at once.
Maybe it's a date night, a dinner party, or simply a way of making an ordinary evening feel like something worth remembering.
Or maybe, like wine, caviar rewards comparison — and tasting caviar side by side is the only real way to understand what sets one variety apart from another.
A proper tasting doesn't need much: a chilled tin of each variety, a mother-of-pearl spoon (never metal, which can dull the flavor), and a few traditional accompaniments kept light enough not to compete with the caviar itself.
Taste from mildest to boldest, cleanse the palate between each with a plain blini or a sip of chilled Champagne, and take your time — this is caviar as an experience, not a course.
Our dedicated caviar tasting kits are coming soon — true caviar sampler sets, caviar only, so you can add your own blinis and crème fraîche or skip them entirely.
Whether it's a caviar taste test, a celebration, or simply an excuse to enjoy several favorites at once, it's the purest way to taste.

Still Deciding? A Few Questions, AnsweredEvery starter kit ships with caviar, traditional blinis, velvety crème fraîche, a Mother of Pearl spoon, and a signature tin opener — everything you need for a proper first tasting, with nothing left to track down.
All sets are available in various formats to accommodate any party size.
Our caviar sets and starter kits — including multi-caviar ones like The Heritage Edition — are complete, ready-to-enjoy experiences: caviar plus traditional accompaniments like blinis and crème fraîche.
Our tasting flights are caviar only, built specifically for comparing multiple varieties side by side, so you can add your own accompaniments or skip them entirely.
As a rough guide, plan on about 15g per person if caviar is part of a larger spread, or closer to 30g per person if it's the star of the evening.
That's part of why we offer a few tin sizes — so you can match the amount to your table, whether it's an intimate tasting for two or a proper dinner party.
Absolutely — it's actually one of the most common reasons people choose our starter sets as gifts.
They're built specifically to remove the guesswork, so even someone trying caviar for the first time has everything they need for a proper introduction, no prior knowledge required.
Good caviar shouldn't taste fishy at all. Done well, it's briny and buttery, with a clean, oceanic finish that lingers rather than overwhelms.
The exact flavor shifts by variety — Siberian tends to be mild and nutty, Osetra deeper and more mineral, Beluga famously silky and rich.

Honestly, it depends on your palate — which is exactly why so many people start with a tasting flight rather than a single tin.
Newer to caviar? Siberian or White Sturgeon is the easiest to fall for.
Already partial to something bolder and brinier? Osetra, Kaluga, and Imperial tend to win people over.
