The Caviar Guide

From our tasting table to yours

How to choose, serve and keep fine caviar, with care for Malaysia's tropical climate.

Three grades of caviar
Chapter I

Baerii, Beluga or Sterlet?

The sturgeon shapes everything, from pearl size and colour to flavour.

Imperial Baerii: medium, dark pearls, clean and nutty. The perfect first caviar.

Imperial Beluga: the largest, most delicate pearls, buttery and long.

Sterlet Classic: fine, glossy pearls with a delicate, clean brine.

Keeping caviar in Malaysia

  • Store at 0–4°C, in the coldest part of the fridge
  • Never freeze; it ruins the delicate pearls
  • Keep the tin closed and away from the door
  • Once opened, enjoy within 48 hours
