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.
Pick by the occasion
Four gifts that consistently land, from a first taste to a proper statement.
- The safe first gift — Russian Sturgeon Premium 30 g, R2,140. Mild, sweet and hazelnutty — the one almost everybody likes.
- For someone who already knows caviar — Beluga Premium 50 g, R4,590. The name everyone knows, in our top grade.
- The considered smaller gift — Bester Classic 30 g, R1,890. Buttery and nutty, with a lot of the Beluga character for noticeably less.
- 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.
Caviar as a Christmas gift
One of the few things on the table that nobody expects — and nobody forgets. Black sturgeon caviar, delivered cold across South Africa's main cities and timed around the day that matters.
Message us the date and we plan the delivery around it — caviar should not sit on a kitchen counter waiting for someone to come home. See the delivery page for exact timelines by province.
Three things worth getting right
Send it to a real day
Caviar is perishable, so it should arrive when someone is home. Put the recipient's address in at checkout and message us the date.
Warn them it is coming
It needs to go into the coldest part of the fridge on arrival, not sit on a kitchen counter until evening.
Send the ritual with it
A non-metal spoon and something dry to drink turn a nice gift into a memorable one.
