It takes eight years to raise a sturgeon for caviar—and about two seconds to mess it up with careless packing. That's why we do things the hard way. Just like we built our own hatchery instead of buying oyster seed, we created our own caviar packing room instead of slapping a shiny label on a product that we've never seen. It's the next best thing to running a sturgeon farm ourselves. Texture is one of the most important markers of quality in caviar. If you crush the beads with careless packing, you're fundamentally damaging the product. So by packing every tin ourselves, we are able to preserve its integrity and then share that with you. The closest comparison would be being able to taste every single bottle of wine or pre-shucking every oyster before selling it. While most caviar brands will only occasionally taste and never handle what they sell, we source original tins directly from the farm which allows us to better collaborate with our caviar producers and provide feedback on product quality, ultimately getting our customers better caviar order after order.
- Our Standards
-
As farmers ourselves we take great pride in working with other farms that are doing things the right way. Through deliberate visits and multiple rounds of sampling, we have been able to hone in on some of the best caviar in the market. All of the farms we work with raise sturgeon in one of two ways - via Recirculating Aquaculture System [RAS] and Flow-through System (FTS). These techniques create the ideal conditions for animal welfare, lowering the environmental impact, and produce the creme de la creme of caviar.

CAVIAR FAQ
- How much should I buy?
-
30g (serves 1-2)
100g (serves 5-8)
250g (serves 10-15)
1000g (serves 20-40) - Ok, I bought it. Now what?
-
Congrats! You made a great choice, pal.
The caviar is totally fine if it is unopened for 4-6 weeks from receipt in the refrigerator. Once opened, the caviar should be eaten within 2-3 days. The longer the tin has been opened, the more the caviar degrades in quality so we suggest eating right away after the tin has been unsealed.
- How do I open this damn thing?
-
Pros know to use a caviar key (a tool made for this very purpose). Real pros will use anything within arms reach—a screwdriver, a shucking knife, anything that gives you leverage to pry the lid open.
- How do I store caviar?
-
The caviar tin should be kept as cold as possible. Pull your tin out of the packaging and put it in a bowl filled with ice. Place in the fridge and continue to replenish the ice so that it stays chilled. The caviar is fine for 4 weeks if it is unopened. Once opened, the caviar should be eaten within 2-3 days. The longer the tin has been opened, the more the caviar degrades in quality so we suggest eating right away after the tin has been unsealed – that should be easy.
- How do I know if it's bad?
-
Oh you'll know...trust us.

Best NYE at home in South Florida
"Could not find crème fraishe anywhere so I made my own to complement this deliciousness. The caviar was rich, briny, and absolutely perfect. We ate the rest for breakfast the next am!"
Disappointing
"From someone who buys caviar frequently from a local shop, this was extremely disappointing. Osetra caviar is typically a great experience, and this caviar was meh and more expensive than other retailers with a similar offering. I would never buy from here again."
Expected more
"It’s alright, but I expected more - uh, flavor? Nothing there that gave me that “oh my” feeling. Didn’t like that it comes from China. If that isn’t noted on the website, it should be. If it is noted, it should be more prominent. Wouldn’t mind if it came from Taiwan or any number of other countries."
"Had never tried their caviar before but it was very good and fresh and I will order again. Great way to ring in the new year!"
Great gift for those who are hard to buy for.
"Always a delicious treat."
Firm. Well shaped. Absolute hit.
"Consistent with the other high-quality caviar ordered through Island Creek"
Delicious
"Great quality - will order again"
Great Value, Super High Quality
"This Osetra is a show stopper. Flavor packs more of a punch than the Kaluga Hyrbid and the beads are really large and firm for an osetra. Best of both worlds! Highly recommend. One of the best values on the site."
Perfect!
"Yum! This caviar is really unique and certainly a fan favorite in my family. It really stands out from your other offerings I have tried due to its really firm texture and the large eggs. Highly recommend to both newbies and seasoned caviar fans."
