Before you say "not for me"
You don't dislike caviar. You had bad caviar.
Most people's first taste happened in the worst possible place. Then they decided it wasn't for them.
- 01On a plane, where your sense of taste drops by a third.
- 02From a grocery blister pack. Pasteurized, so it's basically cooked.
- 03From a lumpfish jar with a two-year expiry date.
- 04At a restaurant, at six times the price, with a lemon wedge on it.
Good caviar is buttery, a splash of sea, then it's gone. If it tasted fishy, it was old. If it was mushy, it got warm on the way. The Kit is the first night done right: three fresh tins, something to put them on, and nobody watching how you hold the spoon.

The three caviars
Mild. Nutty. Bold. Find your level.
Some people find caviar too salty. Some find it too mild. That's not caviar, that's one tin. Three tins, three levels: start with the mild one, work up, and you'll know which one is yours by the end of the night. Two ingredients in every tin: sturgeon roe and salt.

Pick your box
Three ways to buy. One makes sense.
You can buy a single tin. People do. But the advice every first-timer gets is the same: try it at home, small tins, more than one kind, before the expensive night. Here's what each option puts on the table.

How it arrives
Order by 1pm PT. On the table tomorrow.
Caviar has one enemy and it's warm. Mushy, no pop, "tastes old": that's caviar that got warm on the way. So every order, every time, goes overnight on ice with a tag that proves it didn't.
Packed on ice
Order by 1pm PT and your tins come out of cold storage and into the cooler bag the same day.

How to eat it
Open it. Spoon it. Chips. Done.
The internet's most upvoted caviar bite is a potato chip with a little crème fraîche. Not sarcasm. The chips and the cream are in the box, so is the spoon, and nobody is checking how you hold it.
- OpenKey under the rim, lift.
- SpoonPearl spoon, straight from the tin.
- ChipsA little crème fraîche, one spoonful, one bite.
Start with the Kaluga, the mild one. Then let the rest crash your favorite comfort foods. Potatoes. Eggs. Pasta. Late-night fries. Cold out of the tin at midnight counts too.

Questions people ask before they buy
Good questions.
Is it going to taste fishy?
No. Good caviar tastes buttery with a splash of sea that's gone in a second. Fishy means old caviar, or caviar that got warm. Ours ships overnight on ice with a FreshTag so you can see it didn't.
What if I don't love it?
Start with the Kaluga, the mild one. Most people who "didn't like caviar" had a bad tin somewhere else. If the Kaluga isn't for you, you still have two tins and a bag of chips for people who'll fight over them. any taste guarantee / refund: confirm with doug
How much caviar is 90g, really?
About 15g per person for a taste, 30g for a proper serving. So the Kit is four to six people as a starter, or two people with a tin left over for tomorrow.
I've never bought caviar. Is this the right place to start?
Yes. That's what it's for. Three different caviars, so you find the one you like on night one, and everything to serve them so you don't need to buy or know anything else.
Which three caviars are in the Kit?
Royal Ossetra, Kaluga Hybrid and River Beluga. confirm mix Each one is 30g, in its own artist tin.
Where is it from, and what's in it?
Farmed sturgeon, [origin]. Two ingredients: roe and salt. Malossol, which just means lightly salted. No preservatives, nothing added for weight. origin + species: confirm
How does it stay cold?
Packed on ice in an insulated cooler bag, shipped overnight, with a FreshTag inside that records the temperature the whole way. You read it when you open the bag.
When do I need to order for next-day delivery?
By 1pm PT, Monday to Thursday. Orders placed Friday to Sunday ship Monday and arrive Tuesday. Full shipping details
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. Put their address at checkout and add a gift note. It ships to them cold, in the cooler bag, with your note inside.
How long does it keep?
