A quieter kind of luxury
We supply genuine black caviar to a small circle of clients who value the product over the noise around it.
No mass market, no compromise on quality.
Cape Caviar is a small operation in Cape Town. We source through an established South African importer, hold limited batches, and handle every order ourselves — from the fridge it sits in to the door it arrives at. That is the whole business. There is no warehouse and no clearance stock.
Four things we do not bend on
A short chain
From an established South African importer to us, then to you. Fewer hand-overs, fewer places for the cold chain to break.
Freshness control
Limited batches, stored at −2 °C to −4 °C and never frozen. We would rather run out than sell tired roe.
Cold delivery
Handed over personally in Cape Town, couriered cold everywhere else. The cold chain is never broken.
Honest grading
Classic and Premium mean something here. Premium is the larger, hand-selected pearl of the same roe, not a marketing word.
Four sturgeons, nothing else
We keep the list short on purpose.
Beluga is the showpiece: large glossy pearls, creamy and long. Russian Sturgeon is the crowd-pleaser — mild, sweet, with a hazelnut note. Bester is a Beluga–Sterlet hybrid, buttery and nutty with a long finish. Sterlet is the gentle way in: small delicate pearls and a clean, pure taste.
Each comes in Classic grade; Beluga and Russian Sturgeon also come in Premium. Everything is packed in tins, from a 10 g taste to a 100 g centrepiece.
