Caviar can be kept for about 1 month in the fridge (between 0 and 4°C) before opening. Once the tin has been opened, it should be kept in the fridge and the caviar should be consumed within 24 hours. To retain its texture, caviar should never be frozen.

Our caviar is sourced from various fish farms across the world, all of which strictly adhere to Private Selection specifications. Our partner farms are situated in different regions, including:

• Europe: France, Bulgaria, Italy, and Poland.
• Other regions of the world: mainly South America, Asia, and Africa.
For more detailed information about the origin of each caviar, you can refer to its product description by clicking on "More information about the product."

After production at these farms, Maison Private Selection transports the caviar to its workshops in Paris, New York, and London. Here, our caviar experts begin the refining and sorting process for each caviar. This maturation and selection process can last from 3 to 12 months, depending on the caviar type and the desired level of flavor complexity. This expertise, unique to Private Selection, transforms the caviar from a raw material with a primarily salty taste into a caviar with rich, complex flavors and aromas, characteristic of exceptional caviar.

Caviar is best enjoyed using a specially designed spoon, often referred to as a "tasting spoon." These spoons are typically made of stainless steel, hardwood, or mother-of-pearl. It's important to avoid using silver spoons, as they can lead to oxidation and affect the caviar's taste and quality.

Caviar is best enjoyed with a minimalist approach—less is more! Whether it's your first tasting or not, relish caviar in its purest form or accompanied by lightly buttered toast or delicate blinis.

If you're new to caviar and looking for the perfect option for your first tasting, we recommend exploring our range of caviars, including Oscietre Caviar, Baerii Caviar, Gold Schrenki Caviar, and Beluga Caviar. To help you make an informed choice, we've prepared an article titled "Selecting the Perfect Caviar: A Guide" This article provides detailed insights into the characteristics of each of our Private Selection caviars, assisting you in selecting the ideal option for your first caviar tasting experience.

White vodka and caviar are the classic combination. Following the rich Russian tradition, this pairing is ideal for robust and iodized caviars like Baerii or Gold Schrenki Caviar.
For more delicate caviars like Beluga or Oscietre, we recommend the freshness of a well-balanced champagne or white wines with an optimal blend of acidity and maturity. These options will tantalize your taste buds and allow the caviar's fine marine flavors and subtle hints of dried fruit to shine.
Contrary to popular belief, it's best to steer clear of overly structured champagnes, as they can overpower the delicate flavors of the caviar.
