The Gift of Caviar
When it comes to checking off gifts for everyone on your list, we all have someone that’s difficult to shop for. Whether it’s their discerning palate, their sophisticated tastes, or just their love of caviar that has you unsure of where to start, Petrossian is here with gift solutions for the caviar connoisseur in your life.
Baika Is Back
That’s right, our beloved Baika Caviar is back for the holidays, but it won’t last long. Also known as Siberian Caviar, Baika™ has larger eggs and a more delicate texture than most caviar, but is bursting with the strong, oceanic flavor aficionados love. Every bead of our Baika™ Caviar is carefully matured by Petrossian until it reaches the peak of taste and texture. We then personally select our Baika™ for its bold taste and rich flavor, across a fine selection of different grades, and always make sure to deliver the best quality for the discerning palate.
Presently available in two grades: Tsar Imperial and Royal, now is the time to order the Baika of your choice before it’s gone again.
Presenting Persicus
Another beloved caviar that is hard to come by is Persicus Caviar. You may have heard about this incredible varietal earlier this year when it was available in individual tins. Persian caviar has a rich history dating back to ancient Persia, where it was first recognized for its potential medicinal properties and believed to enhance strength and vitality. While white sturgeon were known to the seafaring populations of antiquity, the 'caviar' obtained from their eggs does not appear until the 9th century. The Persians were the first to consume sturgeon eggs from the Caspian Sea. Caviar then turned up at Russian courts where the Tsars would serve it at their lavish Imperial banquets.
After centuries of over-fishing, for many years, caviar from the Caspian sea was banned from being harvested or sold. Petrossian’s commitment to sustainability and species preservation has allowed us to cultivate relationships with exclusive caviar farmers from around the globe, and preserve rare species of sturgeon for generations to come. Caviar-lovers who are searching for something rich, bold and utterly unique will be thrilled by this savory but subtle pop that layers the palate in notes of dried fruit and light smoke, but leaves the taster with a sweeter, fresher finish than most caviar.
However, this caviar is extremely limited and presently only available in a select few gift sets only while supplies last. If you’re shopping for a truly unique caviar, we encourage you to order one of these sets while they are still in stock with Persicus Caviar. Available in our Caviar Tasting at Home set, this is an excellent gift for the caviar lover in your life. Sample three of our finest caviars - Royal Ossetra, Daurenki, and Persicus.
If you’re looking for something a little more grand, look no further than our Petrossian Connoisseurs Collection. For those very lucky souls at the very top of your gift list, we present a royal gathering of five of our finest caviars paired with our famous truffled foie gras mousse. These twin treasures pair perfectly with any gathering. Presented with our sumptuous truffled foie gras, this trove of magnificent caviar includes 30 g. tins of our Tsar Imperial Daurenki®, Persicus®, Kaluga-Huso Hybrid as well as Ossetra and Beluga-Hybrid. Each is a masterpiece on its own, but together they make the ideal centerpiece to hold a once-in-a-lifetime tasting experience.
Beyond the Caviar
Gifting goes beyond the caviar itself, as how it is presented is part of the experience. For the caviar connoisseur looking to elevate their experience, we recommend our Silver-Gilded Caviar Palette as the gold standard of serving pieces. When Petrossian arrived on American shores in 1983, this iconic serving palette was commissioned to celebrate the occasion. This iconic, silver-gilded serving piece has conveyed our caviar with style and sophistication in our restaurants, boutiques and at countless gala events since then.
It pairs perfectly with our Gold Ecume Caviar Presentoir. The bursting bubbles that rim this elegant caviar server are individually carved by hand. Crafted by Bernardaud in France of famed Limoges porcelain, the gleaming domed cover is crowned by a leaping sturgeon.
For the caviar connoisseur who has everything, Petrossian has two additional unique gift offerings this holiday season. First, our Pearl Spoon Necklace is a unique collaboration that was masterfully crafted by Gohar World and made by hand in the USA from freshwater cultivated pearl, 18k gold plated sterling silver hardware, silk cords and onyx pearls, which evoke our world-class caviar. The signature gift box provides a luxurious setting for storage and presentation, making this a rare and impactful gift for the host or caviar-lover on your list.
Next, our Insolite Caviar By La Maison Du Chocolat is a dark, indulgent treat like you’ve never experienced before. When two legendary French houses come together, the results can be exquisite. We partnered with La Maison du Chocolat to craft an almond-hazelnut praliné with crushed caramelized hazelnuts and savory caviar butter. This decadent marriage of sweet and savory, bold and buttery, will exceed your expectations and expand your horizons for taste and texture.
As part of La Maison du Chocolat's lavish Insolite Collection, this delicacy was created through the masterful talents of Nicolas Cloiseau and treats both the praliné and the caviar as a work of art. The subtle blending of nutty flavors in both the caviar and chocolate provides a crisp and luscious flow from the bite to the indulgent finish.
This is a rare, limited-time experience for the 2025 Holidays, so please reserve yours immediately and delight your friends and loved ones during the festive season.
