What affects the price of caviar?

Caviar is not priced by species alone. Several factors influence the final cost.

Species & maturation
Some sturgeon take far longer to mature before producing roe.
Rarity & yield
Lower-yield and more limited caviars generally command higher prices.
Grading
Pearl size, colour, firmness, consistency and overall quality all affect value.
Flavour & texture
Highly prized sensory characteristics can move caviar into a higher grade.
Tin size
Larger tins usually cost less per gram than smaller tasting sizes.
Supply
Availability and production can affect pricing for particular varieties and grades.

How caviar prices compare across our sturgeon selection

Caviar Centre carries more than ten core sturgeon caviars. The groupings below reflect current 30 g entry prices and are intended as a practical comparison—not a quality ranking. Species, grade, pearl size, flavour profile and availability all matter when choosing a caviar.

$109–$119 per 30 g

Rare and seasonal selections: Caviar Centre may also offer limited caviars such as Black Pearl Osetra and 000 Beluga when available. They are not included in the standard comparison because availability and pricing can change substantially.

Which caviar offers the best value?

“Best value” depends on whether you prioritize price, rarity, pearl size or a classic flavour profile. For the lowest current entry price among our sturgeon caviars, Schrenckii and Kaluga Hybrid start at $89 for 30 g. Siberian Caviar starts at $99, while classic Osetra starts at $119.

For entertaining, larger tins are usually the stronger value per gram. Compare 100 g, 125 g or 250 g formats before purchasing several small tins.

How much caviar should I buy per person?

For a tasting or appetizer, plan roughly 15–30 g per person. If caviar is the main focus, 30–50 g per person is a more generous serving.

Sturgeon caviar vs. other roe

Sturgeon caviar is typically more expensive than non-sturgeon roe because of the time required to raise mature sturgeon, the limited yield and the grading standards applied to premium caviar. For a more accessible roe experience, explore our Premium Roes collection.

Frequently asked questions about caviar prices

Why is Beluga the most expensive caviar?

Beluga sturgeon take many years to mature, supply is limited, and the caviar is prized for its large, delicate pearls and prestige. Those factors place Beluga at the top of the regular price range.

Does a higher price always mean better caviar?

Not necessarily. Price reflects rarity, species, grade, yield and supply, but personal preference matters just as much. Some customers prefer the flavour and texture of a lower-priced Siberian, Schrenckii or Kaluga Hybrid over a more expensive variety.

Why can caviars from the same species have different prices?

Caviars from the same species can differ by grade, pearl size, colour, firmness, consistency, flavour, maturity and overall selection. The farm, handling and available quantity can also affect the price.

What does price per gram tell me when comparing caviar?

Price per gram helps compare different tin sizes of the same caviar. Larger tins usually offer a lower cost per gram, but price per gram alone does not measure quality across different species or grades.

Why can caviar prices differ between Canadian retailers?

Differences can come from species, grade, pearl size, freshness, source, handling, import route, packaging and retailer margins. Compare the exact species, grade and tin size rather than the product name alone.

How often do caviar prices change?

Prices can change when supply, availability, grading or import costs change. The linked product pages show the current online price, while this guide is updated periodically as the catalogue changes.

Are Black Pearl Osetra and 000 Beluga always available?

No. These are rare, limited or seasonal selections and may not appear in the regular catalogue. Availability, sizes and pricing can change when small quantities become available.

Is separate trade pricing available for restaurants and foodservice?

Trade and foodservice customers can inquire through our Wholesale Caviar & Foodservice page for product availability and commercial purchasing information.
