Royal Collection

The Royal Collection is designed for discovery through contrast.

Four caviars reveal different ways in which species, texture, aromatic character, and finish shape the tasting experience. The collection also provides a particularly useful comparison between Oscietra Classic and Oscietra Royal, allowing guests to explore two distinct expressions within the same caviar family.

Tradition Prestige

The most balanced and approachable starting point.

Produced from Pacific White sturgeon, Tradition Prestige features generous, silky pearls with creamy and buttery richness, followed by fruity and nutty nuances and gentle marine salinity.

Its clean, relatively short finish leaves the palate fresh, making it an ideal reference point before moving toward the more persistent caviars in the collection.

Oscietra Classic

The traditional nutty benchmark of the Oscietra family.

Its velvety, firm pearls develop distinctive hazelnut and buttery notes together with a sea urchin nuance that adds marine depth.

The flavor is complex and persistent, with subtle salinity and a long, distinctive finish.

Oscietra Royal

A brighter and more aromatic interpretation of Oscietra.

Oscietra Royal combines a rich, creamy mouthfeel with pear, butter, and hazelnut. The pear note brings freshness and lift to the naturally nutty character of Oscietra.

Its flavor develops gradually into a long, smooth, and bright finish.

Siberian Royal

The boldest and most savory caviar in the collection.

Siberian Royal begins creamy and luscious before developing layers of bottarga, dried fruit, nuts, oyster, nori seaweed, and a subtle trace of cured meats.

Its firm texture and pronounced marine character lead into a long, powerful finish that provides a dramatic contrast to the other three selections.

Together, the four caviars create a tasting journey from balanced and creamy through two increasingly complex Oscietra expressions and into a bold, savory Siberian finale.

For the most informative comparative tasting, begin by serving all four caviars well chilled and tasting each one on its own.

Suggested tasting order

1. Tradition Prestige
2. Oscietra Classic
3. Oscietra Royal
4. Siberian Royal

This progression begins with the cleanest and most approachable profile, moves through two increasingly layered Oscietra expressions, and finishes with the boldest and most savory caviar in the collection.

Use the included mother-of-pearl spoon or another non-metal utensil to preserve the purity and texture of the roe.

After tasting each caviar on its own, introduce simple accompaniments such as:

• Blinis
• Crème fraîche, used sparingly
• Boiled potatoes
• Oatcakes or unsalted crackers
• Toast points

Recommended beverages include:

• Brut or cuvée Champagne
• Premium Franciacorta
• Mineral dry white wines
• Premium chilled vodka

For a more exploratory tasting, guests can return to each caviar with different accompaniments and compare how texture, nuttiness, salinity, and aromatic intensity change with the pairing.

Tradition Prestige - Pacific White sturgeon

Profile: Creamy, buttery, fruity, and nutty
Texture: Silky and smooth
Finish: Clean and crisp
Best for: A balanced introduction and reference point for the tasting

Tradition Prestige provides the collection's most approachable expression and establishes a useful baseline before the more persistent selections.

Oscietra Classic - Oscietra sturgeon

Profile: Hazelnut, butter, and sea urchin
Texture: Velvety and firm
Finish: Long and distinctive
Best for: Discovering the classic nutty complexity of Oscietra

Classic is the traditional Oscietra reference point, emphasizing hazelnut richness and persistent flavor.

Oscietra Royal - Oscietra sturgeon

Profile: Pear, butter, and hazelnut
Texture: Velvety and firm
Finish: Long, smooth, and bright
Best for: Exploring a fresher, more aromatic Oscietra expression

Royal makes the comparison with Classic particularly interesting: the familiar buttery and nutty foundation remains, but pear aromatics introduce greater freshness and lift.

Siberian Royal - Siberian sturgeon

Profile: Bottarga, dried fruit, nuts, oyster, nori, and subtle cured-meat notes
Texture: Firm and defined
Finish: Long and powerful
Best for: Bold, savory, ocean-driven flavor

Siberian Royal provides the strongest aromatic contrast and completes the collection with greater marine intensity and persistence.

The collection also includes one mother-of-pearl spoon for proper caviar service.

The Royal Collection contains fresh caviar and should remain properly refrigerated from delivery until serving.

For best quality:

• Refrigerate the collection promptly upon arrival
• Keep the tins unopened and refrigerated until needed
• Open each tin shortly before tasting
• Keep the caviar chilled during service
• Refrigerate any remaining product promptly after use

The current stated shelf life is 90 days unopened from the ship date when stored according to Calvisius recommendations.

Because the Royal Collection is often purchased for celebrations or gifting, allow sufficient time before the occasion when placing the order.

The Royal Collection is particularly well suited to recipients who want to explore caviar rather than receive only a single style.

Its four selections offer a broader comparative experience than a traditional single-tin gift, moving through three distinct caviar profiles while also allowing a direct comparison between Oscietra Classic and Oscietra Royal.

It is especially well suited for:

• Luxury gifting
• Birthdays and anniversaries
• Milestone celebrations
• Holiday gifting
• Corporate and executive gifts
• Dinner hosts
• Couples and small-group tastings
• Caviar enthusiasts interested in comparison and discovery

Choose the Royal Collection when you want to give a broader journey through Calvisius - from creamy White sturgeon and classic nutty Oscietra to brighter Oscietra complexity and bold Siberian savory depth.

The elegant magnetic presentation and included mother-of-pearl spoon make it a complete gift designed to be opened, compared, and shared.
