The Egg

For the clearest comparison, serve all three caviars well chilled and taste them individually before introducing accompaniments.

Recommended tasting order

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

This order begins with the cleanest and most approachable profile, progresses toward greater aromatic complexity and persistence, and finishes with the strongest marine character.

Use the included mother-of-pearl spoon to taste directly from each tin.

After the pure tasting, introduce simple accompaniments such as:

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

Recommended beverages include:

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

Pairings can also be adapted to each selection:

Tradition Prestige works particularly well with Champagne, Franciacorta Satèn, potatoes, and avocado.

Oscietra Royal is especially suited to cuvée Champagne, Franciacorta, blinis, potatoes, oatcakes, and unsalted crackers.

Siberian Classic has enough intensity to pair with oysters, smoked salmon and other smoked fish, as well as mineral whites such as Muscadet or Chablis.

The Egg is designed to turn caviar tasting into a journey through three distinctly different profiles.

Rather than offering several similar selections, the collection moves from the balanced, creamy character of Pacific White sturgeon to the layered nuttiness and aromatic freshness of Oscietra, before introducing the firmer texture and stronger marine personality of Siberian caviar.

Tradition Prestige

The most approachable starting point.

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

Its finish is clean and crisp, leaving the palate fresh and making Prestige an ideal reference point for the tasting.

Oscietra Royal

A richer and more aromatic second step.

Oscietra Royal combines velvety, firm pearls with butter and hazelnut, lifted by a distinctive ripe-pear note.

Its profile is creamy but fresh, with greater aromatic complexity and a long, smooth, bright finish that clearly distinguishes it from the softer Tradition Prestige.

Siberian Classic

The most ocean-driven expression in The Egg.

Siberian Classic features firm pearls and a fuller marine profile, with gentle iodine character alongside nuts, oyster, nori seaweed, and a subtle touch of honey.

Its creamy middle balances the more assertive oceanic notes, while the flavor remains on the palate with a long, clean finish.

Together, the three selections create a natural progression from creamy and balanced, through nutty and aromatic, to firmer, more marine, and persistent.

Tradition Prestige - Pacific White sturgeon

Pearls: Approximately 2.8-3.2 mm
Profile: Butter, fruit, nuts, gentle marine salinity
Texture: Compact, smooth, and silky
Finish: Clean and crisp
Best for: Establishing the tasting baseline and introducing premium caviar

Tradition Prestige provides the most broadly approachable profile of the three.

Oscietra Royal - Oscietra sturgeon

Pearls: Approximately 2.9-3.2 mm
Profile: Pear, butter, and hazelnut
Texture: Velvety and firm
Finish: Long, smooth, and bright
Best for: Nutty complexity, aromatic freshness, and a more persistent tasting experience

Oscietra Royal introduces a distinctly different flavor family and demonstrates how much more aromatic and layered Oscietra can be.

Siberian Classic - Siberian sturgeon

Pearls: Approximately 2.5-2.9 mm
Profile: Nuts, oyster, nori seaweed, honey, and gentle iodine
Texture: Firm and defined
Finish: Long and clean
Best for: Guests who prefer a stronger taste of the sea and a more pronounced marine character

Siberian Classic completes the progression with firmer texture and greater oceanic intensity.

The Egg also includes:

• One mother-of-pearl spoon
• One dedicated tin opener

These accessories allow the collection to be opened and served as a complete caviar tasting experience.

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

For best quality:

• Refrigerate the collection promptly upon arrival
• Keep all three tins unopened and chilled until needed
• Open each tin shortly before its turn in the tasting
• Keep the caviar properly chilled throughout service
• Refrigerate any remaining product promptly after use

The current stated shelf life is 90 days from shipping when unopened and properly refrigerated.

For special occasions, Calvisius recommends ordering sufficiently ahead of the event while keeping the collection refrigerated until it is ready to be enjoyed.

The Egg is designed for occasions where both the caviar and the presentation should feel memorable.

Instead of asking the recipient to commit to a single caviar style, it offers three clearly different profiles to compare: the creamy balance of Tradition Prestige, the nutty and aromatic complexity of Oscietra Royal, and the stronger marine character of Siberian Classic.

The included tin opener and mother-of-pearl spoon make it particularly suitable as a complete ready-to-taste gift rather than simply a collection of caviar tins.

It is especially well suited for:

• Milestone birthdays and anniversaries
• Luxury holiday gifting
• Romantic celebrations
• Executive and corporate gifts
• Dinner hosts
• Couples and small-group tastings
• First-time comparative caviar experiences
• Experienced enthusiasts interested in exploring different profiles

Choose The Egg when the gift should combine distinctive presentation with a genuine exploration of three very different styles of caviar.

The result is both a premium gift and a guided tasting experience designed to be opened, compared, and shared.
