How to enjoy

With its large pearls and velvety texture, Imperial Kaluga shines when served simply. Accompanied by blinis, toast points, or warm boiled potatoes and a touch of crème fraîche, its rich buttery flavor and velvety mouthfeel can be fully appreciated. Kaluga's robust character also makes it wonderfully versatile. Try it with lightly salted kettle chips, generously spooned over creamy scrambled eggs, or paired with a simple buttered pasta for an indulgent yet approachable caviar experience.

All caviar orders are carefully packed in insulated packaging with ice packs to maintain appropriate temperatures for up to 48 hours.

We ship caviar via FedEx Priority Overnight Monday through Thursday. We do not ship caviar Friday through Sunday to minimize the risk of perishable shipments being held in transit over the weekend.

While we make every effort to ensure prompt delivery, carrier delays and other circumstances outside our control may occur.

If you require caviar for a specific date, please order so delivery is expected at least 2–3 days in advance. Requested delivery dates cannot be guaranteed, but we will make every effort to honor them.

Because caviar is perishable, please ensure that someone is available to receive the shipment and refrigerate it promptly upon arrival.
