Wearing the Caviar Crown
We are beyond excited to announce that our Ossetra Caviar has been crowned the top choice by Food & Wine host Amelia Schwartz after an extensive tasting of over 60 different caviars!
In the video feature, Amelia highlights the remarkable depth and complexity of flavors in our Ossetra Caviar, calling it her number-one pick for any occasion. What makes this honor even more special? Our Ossetra was the only tin finished during the tasting—truly setting it apart.
Amelia’s enthusiastic review speaks to the luxurious, buttery texture and well-rounded flavor profile that make Petrossian Ossetra a timeless favorite among caviar lovers. Whether hosting an elegant dinner party or looking for the perfect indulgence, Petrossian Ossetra is the caviar to turn to.
Why Our Ossetra Stole the Show
Why? Our Ossetra caviar flavor is bold yet balanced. Notes of dried fruits and toasted grains give it a signature taste. It offers a rich, buttery texture that melts in your mouth. This caviar doesn’t just offer rich flavor; it creates a moment worth savoring.
How to Choose Ossetra Caviar
Our Ossetra caviar comes in four grades. The most accessible is our Royal Ossetra caviar with its firm and potent grains. Next is our Tsar Imperial Ossetra caviar, known for its aromatics that smell rich and nutty before you even taste the caviar.
Even more impressive is our Ossetra President Caviar, which is fresh, fruity and matured to perfection. And our finest of the variety is the Special Reserve Ossetra, which is our most prestigious version of the caviar. With Ossetra, we look for a full, perfume-like essence, subtle characteristics of dried fruit and nuts, with a complex, buttery finish. This is a big, bold caviar, meant for true connoisseurs. It makes the perfect gift for the caviar lover in your life.
How to Enjoy Ossetra Caviar
Here are our top three ways to enjoy Osetra caviar. Food & Wine tasted with wooden spoons, which is a great way to get a true flavor out of the caviar, but leaves little to the imagination!
-
On the Hand: Enjoy Ossetra in its purest form—served directly on the back of your hand for a simple, elegant tasting.
-
Atop Potato Chips: Pair Ossetra with a crisp potato chip for a delightful contrast of textures and a touch of salty crunch.
-
On Blinis with Crème Fraîche: Place Ossetra atop warm blinis with a dollop of crème fraîche for a classic, refined bite.
We’re honored to have been selected by Food & Wine as one of the best caviars - and we hope you think the same. And remember—there’s a perfect caviar for everyone, but only one can be the favorite.
