Imperial Osetra Caviar

Imperial Osetra comes from more mature Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, allowing the pearls to grow larger and develop a more refined presentation. Often called Golden Osetra, its colour ranges from brilliant golden-yellow to silvery olive-green.

It is selected as a more exclusive expression of Osetra, with generous pearl size, clarity of flavour and an elegant finish.

Imperial Osetra is richly buttery and nutty, yet remains poised and delicate. Its larger pearls offer a polished pop and a long, clean finish with minimal brine.

Serve by itself for the first taste, then add a plain blini or a restrained touch of crème fraîche. Keep the tin over ice and use a mother-of-pearl spoon. Vintage or brut Champagne suits its refined richness.

Your caviar is kept refrigerated until it is packed in insulated, chilled packaging for delivery. Within the GTA, most orders arrive the next business day from Monday to Friday. Same-day GTA service may be arranged for orders placed before 10:00 a.m.; request it in the order notes or email support@caviarcentre.com after ordering.

Outside the GTA, orders ship Monday through Thursday by next-day express courier. For a Friday delivery ahead of a weekend, confirm the order by Thursday at 3:00 p.m. ET. Orders received after that cutoff ship the following Monday; we do not ship temperature-sensitive orders outside the GTA on Fridays.

Refrigerate immediately at 0–4°C. Keep the tin sealed until service, follow the best-before date on the package and, once opened, enjoy within three days.
