Species Details

The Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) is a true product of its rugged homeland, flourishing in the icy waters of Siberia. Forged by these extreme conditions, it matures over 10–18 patient years, reaching impressive sizes of up to 7 feet and 140 pounds. Its natural resilience and consistent roe production have made it a foundation of sustainable caviar farming. Raised in pristine aquaculture environments, the species yields caviar of remarkable purity and character. This balance of tradition, quality, and sustainability makes Siberian caviar a staple of refined tables worldwide.

    Storage and Serving Guide

     

    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

    Royal Siberian 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.
