The taste, color, and egg size of our Imperial caviar is remarkably similar to true Beluga caviar.

This exquisite Kaluga caviar has large, glossy dark gray to light golden green grains. The flavor is creamy, buttery, and nutty with a burst of the sea.

A must-try for connoisseurs, private chefs and kaluga caviar lovers alike. Kolikof Imperial Caviar is the caviar of choice for many of the world's finest restaurants and hotels.
Creamy, buttery, and nutty with a clean burst of the sea — Kaluga grains so large and glossy they rival true Beluga. Let the big pearls melt and pop slowly; smooth, luxurious, and restaurant-grade.

Serve well chilled, straight from the tin set over ice. Use a non-metallic spoon (mother-of-pearl is included) — metal can dull the flavor. Enjoy on its own, on the back of the hand, or with blini and crème fraîche, finely chopped egg, and chives.

INGREDIENTS: Sturgeon Roe, Salt.
ORIGIN: Imported
METHOD: Farmed
SHELF LIFE: Use within 72 hours of opening.
STORAGE: Store at 32ºF to 34ºF.

* 1 free spoon and caviar key per order.

Every order ships overnight in insulated, cold-pack packaging built to keep your caviar fresh — even through summer heat. A complimentary Mother-of-Pearl serving spoon and caviar tin key are included with every order (no key with the 28g glass jar).

The Ritual

The perfect tasting in three steps

Caviar rewards a little ceremony. Here's how to get the most from every pearl.

Chill

Keep the tin nestled in ice and open it just before serving. Caviar is at its best served cold, never room temperature.

Spoon

Use the included Mother-of-Pearl spoon — never metal, which can bruise the pearls and add a tinny note. Lift a small, generous mound.

Savor

Roll the pearls across your palate, then press gently to release a clean burst of the sea. Take your time — this is gastronomy.

Why Ossetra

The place to start — and to stay

If you're choosing one caviar, make it this one.

The Classic

The benchmark by which other caviars are judged — nutty, buttery, and unmistakably refined.

The Versatile One

Firm enough to shine on its own, balanced enough to elevate blini, eggs, pasta, or a simple potato. Caviar plays beautifully across the whole table.

The Crowd-Pleaser

From a quiet two at home to a table of eight, our sizes scale from a single 28g tin to a full kilo — making Caviar the effortless centerpiece of any occasion.

If I don't personally love it, I won't sell it. And I'm picky.

I never received this order.

"I never received this order. You never contacted me to say it was ready. I sent my housekeeper to pick it up and the store wasn't open during the day. Please reverse the charges on my credit card."

We ship overnight in insulated cold-pack packaging to protect freshness. To avoid caviar sitting in a warehouse over a weekend, we fulfill early in the week. You'll receive tracking as soon as your order is on its way.

Sealed and refrigerated at 32–34°F, your caviar stays fresh for up to four weeks. Once opened, enjoy it within 72 hours — though it rarely lasts that long.

Creamy, buttery, and nutty with a clean burst of the sea — Kaluga grains so large and glossy they rival true Beluga. Let the big pearls melt and pop slowly; smooth, luxurious, and restaurant-grade.

The majority of our roe is farm-raised and sustainably sourced using humane, ethical practices, free of added chemicals or GMOs. Our wild varieties are harvested from well-managed, sustainable U.S. fisheries.

Always use a non-metallic spoon — metal can dull the flavor. A complimentary Mother-of-Pearl spoon and caviar key come with every order (no key with the 28g glass jar).

The world's favorite caviar, delivered overnight.

Farm-raised, hand-sampled, and packed cold for your table. Free Mother-of-Pearl spoon included with every tin.
