Exceptional quality caviar at outstanding value
Our House Selection Caviar is the result of one simple idea: to source the very best caviar available at its price point, without compromise.

This is a premium caviar chosen for flavour, consistency and value, ideal for both entertaining and everyday luxury.
What Is House Selection Caviar?
House Selection Caviar is a carefully chosen Siberian sturgeon (Baerii) caviar sourced from one of the oldest outdoor sturgeon farms in Italy, established in 1997.
It is selected based on strict internal tasting criteria rather than brand or origin alone, ensuring only the best batches make it into the final selection.
In simple terms:
If we find better caviar at this level, we upgrade it.
Where Does It Come From?
This caviar comes from a flow-through sturgeon farm in Northern Italy, known for its clean water systems and long-standing expertise in Baerii sturgeon farming.
Unlike mass-produced caviars, this farm focuses on:
- Controlled, natural growth conditions
- High water quality and circulation
- Traditional European aquaculture methods
- Small-batch production
The result is a consistently high-quality caviar with excellent flavour and texture.
What Does House Selection Caviar Taste Like?
House Selection Baerii caviar is known for its:
- Fresh, clean flavour
- Strong “front-of-mouth” taste
- Light buttery finish
- Elegant salinity
- Balanced, approachable profile
It is lively rather than overly intense, making it highly versatile and easy to enjoy.
What Do the Eggs Look Like?
The pearls are:
- Medium-sized (similar to Oscietra in appearance)
