Special Edition Collection

The Special Edition Collection is designed around contrast.

Rather than presenting three variations of the same flavor profile, it brings together caviars with clearly different textures, aromatic directions, and finishes, allowing guests to discover what they personally value most in caviar.

Tradition Prestige

The most approachable starting point of the collection.

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

Its finish is clean, leaving the palate fresh and making it an excellent reference point before moving toward the more persistent profiles in the collection.

Oscietra Royal

A richer, more aromatic step in the tasting.

Oscietra Royal combines a velvety-firm texture with butter and hazelnut notes, lifted by a distinctive ripe-pear character. Its profile is creamy yet fresh, developing into a long, smooth, and bright finish.

It introduces the characteristic nutty complexity and greater persistence associated with Oscietra caviar.

Siberian Royal

The boldest and most savory selection in the collection.

Siberian Royal features firm pearls and a pronounced marine character. Its creamy opening develops into layers of bottarga, dried fruit, nuts, oyster, nori seaweed, and a subtle trace of cured meats.

The flavors remain on the palate, building toward a long and powerful finish.

Together, the three caviars create a natural progression from balanced and approachable, through nutty and aromatic, to bold and deeply savory.

For the clearest comparative experience, taste each caviar well chilled and on its own before introducing accompaniments.

Recommended tasting order

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

This order moves from the cleanest and most approachable profile toward increasingly persistent and savory flavors.

Use the included mother-of-pearl spoon or another non-metal utensil to preserve the purity of each caviar.

For accompaniments, keep the presentation simple:

• Blinis - neutral and traditional
• Crème fraîche - use sparingly to add creamy contrast without masking the roe
• Boiled potatoes - a mild base that works across all three profiles
• Unsalted crackers or toast points - useful for comparative tasting without introducing strong flavors

Recommended beverages include:

• Brut Champagne
• Franciacorta
• Mineral dry white wine
• Premium chilled vodka

For the best experience, taste each caviar on its own first, then return to individual selections with accompaniments to see how the pairings change their character.

The Special Edition Collection contains three Calvisius caviars selected to showcase different expressions of premium sturgeon roe.

Tradition Prestige - Pacific White sturgeon

Profile: Creamy, buttery, fruity, and nutty
Texture: Silky and smooth
Finish: Clean and relatively short
Best for: A balanced introduction to premium caviar

Tradition Prestige serves as the collection's reference point: approachable enough for a first tasting, yet refined enough for experienced caviar enthusiasts.

Oscietra Royal - Oscietra sturgeon

Profile: Pear, butter, and hazelnut
Texture: Velvety and firm
Finish: Long, smooth, and bright
Best for: Guests who appreciate nutty complexity and aromatic freshness

Oscietra Royal offers greater flavor persistence and a distinctly different aromatic direction from White sturgeon caviar.

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: Guests who prefer bold, savory, ocean-driven flavors

Siberian Royal provides the strongest contrast in the set and naturally completes the tasting progression.

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

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

Each collection is shipped under refrigerated conditions in insulated packaging designed to preserve freshness during transit.

For best quality:

• Refrigerate the caviar promptly upon arrival
• Keep unopened tins 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.

The Special Edition Collection is particularly well suited to gifting because it does not require the recipient to already know which caviar style they prefer.

Instead of choosing a single profile, the recipient can compare three very different expressions side by side and discover their own favorite.

It is especially well suited for:

• First-time premium caviar experiences
• Birthdays and anniversaries
• Holiday gifting
• Dinner hosts
• Corporate and executive gifts
• Couples or small-group tastings
• Experienced caviar enthusiasts interested in comparison

Choose the Special Edition Collection when you want to give an experience of discovery rather than a single caviar style.

The included mother-of-pearl spoon makes it particularly convenient as a ready-to-taste gift and introduces the recipient to three different sides of the Calvisius range.
