Party Planning with Petrossian
Party planning can be a daunting undertaking, and while there is a plethora of professional planners available to help, sometimes it’s just better to plan everything yourself. Perhaps you have a picture in your head of the details from the meals to the table setting, centerpieces, and more. Or you may want to keep it low key, offering cocktails and appetizers and using the time to mingle with friends. Weddings, family dinners, and even holiday parties can all be done with a few touches from Petrossian to make the event spectacular without needing to hire someone to help.
The holiday session is just one reason to plan glorious gatherings with Petrossian. Whatever your reason, our caviar concierge and caviarologist are here to help. Let’s get started, shall we?
The Simple Soirée
Sometimes simple is all you need when planning a gathering. Simple parties mean less effort for the host, while keeping the focus on casual conversation and time with guests. It’s a great way to catch up with people you haven’t seen in a while, or to bring together people from the office or neighborhood to simply enjoy each others’ company with some cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.
Simple doesn’t need to mean blasé, however, and with a few touches from Petrossian, you can impress your guests with minimal effort, while still throwing the soirée of the season!
Our Salmon Quartet is a great starter. With three unsliced Tsar-Cut variations including our Classic, Black Sea Spiced, and Dill Marinated options, along with our Classic Sliced Smoked Salmon, it has everything you need to get your party started. Simply open the packages and slice or dice, pair with fresh lightly salted crackers and top with a dollop of crème fraîche for four variations everyone will want to try!
If you’re feeling bold, top each with some caviar and a small amount of finely chopped chives for an added burst of brine in every bite. We love the subtleness of Royal Daurenki for Black Sea Spiced smoked salmon. On the dill smoked salmon, choose either a Royal Beluga for a more subtle flavor, or a Tsar Imperial Alverta for a burst of brine. When it comes to the classic variations of smoked salmon, we recommend our best selling Royal Ossetra for two favorites that combine together for flavors everyone will enjoy.
An Elegant Evening
If you’re planning something that’s more than appetizers, or are looking for a larger spread for your elegant evening, there are a variety of flavors to bring the evening to life. Of course the smoked salmon and caviar treats are always a great choice, and are complemented by a selection of savory snacks to add to the spread.
No charcuterie spread would be complete without a few of our favorite meats. Our Berkshire Port & Black Truffle Salami, Berkshire Pork & Venison Salami, Wild Boar Saucisson, and Duck Saucisson all bring unique savory flavors to any spread. Add Pâté Normand Terrine for a touch of the French countryside. Our authentic Normand Pâté combines farm-raised pork, rich chicken liver, fresh onions, apples and port wine into a savory/sweet medley that will form the centerpiece of your next incredible party platter.
Our Duck Foie Gras Mousse with Truffles is a best seller, and for good reason. Our sumptuously rich duck liver and truffles is perfectly blended to ensure a lighter, more spreadable consistency. Pair it with toast points or light crackers as a sublime hors d'oeuvre or a complement to the main course. When served with onion confiture, it adds just the right touch to the charcuterie spread without overtaking any of the individual flavors.
The Grandest Gathering
Perhaps simple isn’t your style, or you’re planning something much bigger than just a few cocktails and caviar. When you’re envisioning a grand gathering, there’s a few shortcuts available to make the party perfect without needing to find everything you need individually. Our gourmet gift sets are excellent for hosting, and have everything you need to go from planning to party as easily as opening the box!
For charcuterie, when you just can’t make up your mind, our Charcuterie Basket has everything you need already curated and shipped directly to you. Other cured meats pale in comparison to this tempting assortment, sure to warm the heart and satisfy the cravings of your favorite omnivore. We’ve scoured the globe for the very best producers of salami, duck breast, saucisson and accoutrements. It even includes our Patisserie Macarons for your guests with a sweet tooth!
The swankiest soirée is yours to host with these delectable morsels and treasures of the sea. The Cocktail Party Kit has a selection of smoked seafood that is a wonderful complement to any charcuterie spread. Invite your very closest friends and trust Petrossian to provide the plump scallops, luscious smoked trout & salmon, tempting sardines in oil and our decadent Babas au Rhum for dessert. It's everything you need besides the cocktails.
For the grandest of the grand, we offer you the Grande Fête is the entire party in a single box. It has everything you need to host the ultimate holiday soirée! Our signature gift box arrives overnight, filled to the brim with an abundance of riches, including luscious smoked fish, savory charcuterie, decadent chocolates and, of course, a medley of four incredible caviars (30g each of Royal Ossetra, Persicus, Daurenki & Kaluga). Wow factor included.
