Julian’s currently enjoying
Oscietra is one of the most versatile and widely appreciated caviars, selected here for its medium-sized grains and clean, balanced flavour.
It offers a gentle nuttiness with a smooth, lingering finish, without becoming overly rich.
This is the core of the range, suited to both first-time buyers and those returning for a reliable, high-quality experience.
Julian’s currently enjoying
Kaluga caviar is known for its large, firm grains and fuller, more indulgent flavour.
It delivers a smooth, buttery profile with a lingering finish that feels more substantial on the palate.
A strong premium choice for entertaining or when you want a more pronounced and luxurious experience.
Caviar Julian was founded by Julian Pryke, whose experience in the seafood industry began with sourcing, selecting, and selling exceptional fish and shellfish through his fishmonger’s business in Greenwich, London.
Julian developed a particular interest in caviar, sourcing and serving it alongside oysters and sea urchin at some of London’s most distinguished venues, including the Natural History Museum, Churchill War Rooms, and Spencer House.
His experience also extends to publishing international seafood magazines, bringing a wider understanding of the industry, its producers, and the importance of provenance.
Today, that knowledge underpins Caviar Julian’s approach to selecting exceptional caviar, with an emphasis on quality, authenticity, and the pleasure of enjoying it.
Caviar Julian provides caviar from which samples have been independently DNA tested following sourcing, helping to verify authenticity and traceability in a luxury food where species are closely linked to value.
Independent DNA testing verifies the caviar selected matches the species and source described, providing reassurance in a category where provenance and authenticity matter.
Mislabelled caviar can occur, whether through error or otherwise, which is why independent DNA testing is important.
It confirms traceability, supports authenticity, and gives you confidence the caviar you choose is the caviar you receive.
Caviar is best enjoyed without too much formality, whether from a mother of pearl spoon, from the hand, or alongside lightly salted crisps.
Warm blinis remain a classic for good reason, offering a softer, more traditional way to enjoy caviar without overpowering its flavour.
Champagne remains the classic caviar pairing, with its freshness, acidity, and fine bubbles bringing brightness and lift alongside the richness and silky texture of caviar.
Chilled vodka offers a cleaner, colder pairing with very little flavour of its own, meaning the character and texture of the caviar remains the focus.
A 30g tin is enough for one person to enjoy caviar generously, while larger 100g tins are popular for four. A 250g tin is well suited to entertaining groups of eight to ten.
Naturally rich in protein and a source of Omega 3, caviar is rare in that it is both healthy and light yet wonderfully indulgent.
Frequently Asked
If you are trying caviar for the first time, I recommend starting with Oscietra, which offers an excellent balance of flavour and texture. In truth, you cannot really go wrong because I only stock caviar that I would be happy to serve myself. Every caviar on this website has been chosen for its quality, provenance, and value.
A 50g tin is ideal for two people, while 125g and 250g tins are perfect for sharing with larger groups. Each product page includes serving guidance to help you choose the right size.
Each variety comes from a different species of sturgeon and has its own character. Some have larger pearls, some are creamier, while others offer a cleaner, more mineral finish. Each caviar page explains its flavour, texture, and characteristics to help you choose.
Caviar is one of the world’s most carefully produced foods. Sturgeon take many years to mature before they produce roe, and every stage of farming, harvesting, DNA testing, and temperature-controlled distribution requires exceptional care. While it is undoubtedly a luxury, sharing a 50g tin between two people often costs little more than a good bottle of Champagne, making it a surprisingly accessible indulgence for a special occasion.
