Caviar from Moldova/Russia?!

As part of my mission to actually visit our suppliers and potential suppliers, I once traveled to Moldova, which I thought was rather adventurous but I did not realise how adventurous! At Chisinau airport, I was met by my driver. I was rather surprised that he looked remarkably like a Russian. My geography of that neck of the woods is not great but I was pretty confident that I was a long way from Mother Russia. It turned out that my driver was Russian and it soon became clear why....

Caviar Tasting

Here at Caspian Caviar, we are often approached by various charities asking for a donation in one form or another. Sadly, we cant support all the requests that we receive but we do try to support those charities close to our heart. For local charities undertaking a raffle, we do like to offer an at-home caviar tasting, conducted by myself. This is a slightly unusual prize and can go very well. Whats more, I enjoy doing them. Most people incorporate the tasting as a “starter” for a dinner party so... Read More

Caspian Gold Oscietra

GOLD OSCIETRA 10% OFF LAUNCH OFFER Those of you with good memories may recall my newsletter from May, in which I cleared a small amount of sensational Oscietra after we had been sent the wrong stock.

It is the little brother of what we had before. We think it is very good indeed and it retails at a... Read More

CAVIAR POST BREXIT

Once upon a time, importing caviar from the EU was dead easy, provided that you had good suppliers. I could email our suppliers what I needed and it would arrive a couple of days later, or even the next day. Imports from outside the EU were rather harder, but we seldom bothered as there are Agents within the EU who did all the hard work. This happy situation dramatically changed on 1st January. The first problem was that nobody really knew what we were meant to do regarding imports. that... Read More

CASPIAN CAVIAR – WE DELIVER!

Whilst most of our orders whiz their way to our customers via an express “next day” courier delivery service, we do like to rise to the challenge of a particularly demanding delivery schedule. We have completed last minute dashes to private jets, found our way to yachts in the Med and even delivered to a vehicle in a lay by near Heathrow. However, I think that we have recently completed our best ever delivery. Our customer needed some caviar in a hurry as it was his wife’s birthday (not an... Read More

BELUGA TASTING

Long term followers of this blog will know that, despite our extensive contacts here at Caspian Caviar, we do struggle to find pure Beluga (Huso Huso) caviar which meets our criteria of top quality at a sensible price. I thought that we had cracked it and the Special Reserve Beluga that we have been offering for the last couple of years is very good indeed and has been gaining an expanding fan club. Unfortunately, my supply line dried up with the onset of COVID. So since March we have been... Read More

Caviar in the “new normal”.

Some people keep referring to “when we return to normal”, but what will “normal” look like after this epidemic? I cant imagine that it will look much like 2019 as we can already see the impacts of the virus and we have no idea how long the virus will be with us. What might the caviar trade look like in 2021? Wish I knew! Perhaps, with little air travel and few cruise ships, there may be a glut of caviar on the market with prices falling dramatically as people try... Read More

20th BIRTHDAY FOR CASPIAN CAVIAR – 20% OFF FOR YOU This Friday, 1st May, is a big day for us as it is the 20th anniversary of the creation of Caspian Caviar. It was that long ago, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, that Simon returned from Azerbaijan with a heap of caviar from the Caspian Sea. Caspian Caviar was born – a pioneering internet-only caviar retailer. It seems normal now, but back then it was pretty cutting edge! Since then, of course, we have seen many changes in... Read More
