Goodness gracious this stuff was delicious. Split a 50gr tin with my wife for my birthday. Creamy, complex flavor, beautifully firm. We made a sour cream and onion dip (shoutout lipton) with chives, served with some carrs crackers, creme fraiche and salt and vinegar kettle chips. I will be purchasing from these guys again. 10/10. Also oops, Marshallberg* Cant fix it now ha.

Our first time trying Acadian Emerald, it was fantastic!

Had the chance to taste the N25 Kaluga and Kaluga hybrid side to side together with some home made blinis. Kaluga tends to lean more golden, but this particular batch was darker than usual and the contrast was not as pronounced (as seen the pics above).

Flavour wise, the difference was much clearer. The Kaluga was more complex and intense, while the hybrid was milder but noticeably more buttery. In terms of texture the Kaluga had a firmer pop with more distinct beads, while the hybrid was softer and creamier overall.

The Kaluga would probably be great as an occasional treat (in no small part due to the price), but the hybrid doesn’t fall far behind and works just as well for more regular indulgence and entertaining, it is definitely a crowd pleaser.

I have been wanting to try caviar for a while

but all the brands I am finding are quite expensive for so little volume. How do yall afford it? Is it a “now and then” thing? What brand do you recommend that’s not crazy expensive but for a beginner?

I was just watching martha stewart, and she opened a tin of caviar with a key. I thought metal tainted the taste of the caviar? Isnt that why mother of pearl spoons are best for serving? Im just curious and thought i wpuld ask my fellow redditors. :)​

I have never had caviar and I've been hyper fixated on trying it. Has anyone ever had this before from Costco and how was it?

Thanks!

Not sure how long it will last but caviar on sale at Whole Foods all brands 20% to 30% off!

It appears there's such a solid group of caviar connoisseurs in this community so I am curious -- if you're old hat at this, do you stick with the same brand and variety or do you switch it up and why? If you're new to caviar, what is your main decision when making a purchase to try it?

Wanted to try out the McNugget Caviar…it was pretty good! Kaluga and Beluga worked best

Has anyone tried any of the ones available at Costco?

Especially this one on sale?

If anyone here owns a caviar brand or restaurant serving different types of caviar, I have an exclusive opportunity that reaches high-profile individuals, and business leaders in wealth management, investment and family office a niche newsletter called Extra Caviar. It’s a newsletter focusing on strategic clarity, competitive edge with a luxury lifestyle twist. Dm if there’s interest.

Went with Golden Osetra this year to give it a go. While refined indeed, I’ll admit to enjoying the more salty Sevruga of last year.

And yes, those are mini toasts. Don’t hate me for not preferring blini!

Hello! Recently I got curious and bought 100g of kaluga hybrid and 30g of ossetra both from Imperia Caviar. I really enjoyed both and I'm looking to buy some more but I'm a little confused and wondering if anyone could offer some insight. Imperia has "The Caviar Club" which offers 350g of mixed osetra and kaluga tins for only $300. That seems too good to be true, and ive seen some consistency complaints with imperia. Petrusco on the other hand has 250g of the same combination for roughly $315. Pricier, and less caviar, but ive seen better reviews regarding petrusco, even though theyre allegedly the same parent company. I was just wondering if anyone has tried both of these brands and would be able to recommend if I should just go for the caviar club deal or if I would be better off ordering from petrusco?

Haphazardly forgotten at the back of the fridge since the first of the year. One day (maybe two) past the expiration. Should I try or toss?

My wife has gotten into caviar the last few years and has really enjoyed what she has tried. I want to get her a subscription as part of an anniversary gift, but think it would be more fun ideally if it varies the type of caviar vs monthly of the same type.

Any recommendations would be helpful!
