Tasting profile

Egg size MediumColour DarkTexture MediumIntensity Rich

Siberian caviar — Acipenser baerii — is where most serious caviar journeys begin. The eggs are medium-sized at 2.8–3.0mm, glossy and dark, and deliver a flavour profile that's surprisingly layered for the price: creamy and earthy upfront, with nutty mid-notes and a long oceanic finish carrying hints of oyster, seaweed, and honey. It doesn't announce itself loudly — it builds.

Farmed in Italy and consistently graded for firmness and colour, our Siberian Baerii sits at the same price point as our White Sturgeon. The two share an approachable entry price, but Siberian runs deeper — more mineral, more complex, with a finish that rewards attention. It's the caviar that turns first-timers into repeat buyers.

Why is Siberian Caviar recommended for first-timers?

Because it's complex without being intimidating. The creamy, earthy profile is immediately familiar — not sharp, not overwhelmingly briny — and it opens up as you eat it. It's also the caviar in our First Experience tasting set, which tends to be the starting point for new caviar households. Several of our customers report that Siberian Baerii was their first caviar, and that it set the standard for everything they tried after.

How does Siberian Baerii compare to White Sturgeon?

White Sturgeon leads with butter and fruit — bright, clean, immediately likeable. Siberian is earthier and more mineral, with a deeper finish. The eggs are slightly larger (2.8–3.0mm vs 2.6–2.8mm), giving a firmer pop. White Sturgeon is the more versatile pairing option; Siberian rewards slower, more focused eating — straight from the tin, with a small spoon.

What does Baerii mean?

Baerii is the species name for Siberian sturgeon — Acipenser baerii — native to the river systems of Siberia and now one of the most widely farmed sturgeon species in the world. When you see "Baerii" on a caviar menu or label, you're looking at Siberian sturgeon. It's prized for its consistent quality, reliable harvest cycles, and that characteristic creamy-earthy depth that makes it one of the most recognizable caviars on the market.

How much Siberian (Baerii) Caviar do I need?

Livraison très rapide, 2 jours, et super bien empaqueté. Produit était excellent, une fois après avoir réussi à ouvrir le récipient scellé (un 25 sous fait l’affaire comme outil). Je recommande la compagnie.

Merci! 🥂

Le caviar était excellent par contre la crème fraîche est arrivé chez moi température pièce et elle a tournée donc il a fallu que j’en rachète une.

Bonjour Kim, nous sommes ravis que le caviar sibérien vous ait plu ! Nous sommes cependant sincèrement désolés pour la crème fraîche, ce n'est absolument pas le standard que nous nous imposons. Comme convenu, un remboursement complet a été émis pour cet article. Nous espérons avoir l'occasion de vous offrir une expérience à la hauteur de vos attentes lors de votre prochaine commande.

Great delivery, timing. The caviar with the little pancakes was kinda bland. I did try a trend with lays lightly salted chips and yes, it’s weird BUT it kicked the flavor up a notch.

Hi Robert, thank you for the kind words on delivery — and we love that you're experimenting! The chips pairing is actually more of a thing than you'd think — a few Michelin-starred chefs have made it famous!

As for the flavour, Siberian caviar is a wonderful entry point into the world of caviar. It's known for being clean and mild by nature, which some love and others find a little understated.

If you're looking for something with more depth and complexity on your next order, we'd be happy to point you toward a variety with a bolder profile (Osetra, Kaluga, Imperial, Sevruga). We think it could be a bit of a revelation! 😊
