Gifting

Caviar as a gift

A tin of real caviar is one of the few gifts nobody re-gifts. Here is how to send one properly: what to choose, what it costs, and how to make sure it lands on the right day.

Best for giftingThe 28 g and 50 g jars — they present better than a tin and keep beautifully in the fridge.

TimingMessage us with the date and we plan the delivery around it, rather than leaving it to chance.

What to send

Pick by the occasion

Four gifts that consistently land, from a first taste to a proper statement.

The safe first gift — Russian Sturgeon Premium 28 g jar, R2,190. Mild, sweet and hazelnutty, in the format that looks like a present. Clears the free-delivery threshold in Cape Town.
For someone who already knows caviar — Beluga Premium 50 g jar, R4,790. The name everyone knows, in our top grade.
The considered smaller gift — Bester Classic 30 g, R1,990. Buttery and nutty, with a lot of the Beluga character for a third of the money.
A first taste for two — Sterlet Classic 10 g, R590. Clean, delicate and hard to get wrong.

Not sure? The grades guide explains what separates Classic from Premium in one page, and the serving guide is worth forwarding to whoever receives it.
