We do not use borax as a preservative or food coloring to enhance the caviar’s appearance. What you see and taste comes naturally from the aging process—no additives, no cosmetics, just pure caviar.

At this time, we currently only ship within all of the United States

All orders are shipped overnight with Fedex's special Periship service, the leadig delivery service for perishable goods. Your caviar is packed in specially made insulated packaging to keep your order fresh and cold for over 48 hours.

Caviar should be kept refrigerated between 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit but not be frozen. Once opened, we recommend that the caviar be enjoyed on the same day and kept refrigerated for a maximum of 3 days. Unopened containers can be kept fresh as long as it does not pass the expiration date.

We recommend 15g per serving, 30g or 50g tins are perfect for 2 people to share. The best way to enjoy caviar is to buy only the amount you plan to serve, order fresh tins directly from Astrea’s professional storage facility to ensure quality.

Caviar can be enjoyed by itself, with chilled champagne or vodka. Other classic accompaniments include crème fraiche, chopped chives, hard boiled egg shavings served on top of blini or toast, or simply empty a tin over scrambled eggs and indulge.

We suggest serving caviar with mother of pearl spoons, but plastic or wood spoons are also acceptable. Do not serve caviar with any metallic silverware as they oxidize easily and can affect the delicate taste of caviar.

Depending on the species of sturgeon, our caviar is aged and cured for 1 to 4 months with a special blend of artisanal low sodium salt via our own proprietary formula. During this process the caviar slowly cures and new flavors evolve. Due to our low salt curing process, the caviar will keep its integrity longer in tin.

Sturgeon caviar is a rich source for natural vitamins (A, B, C, D, and E) and contains healthy trace elements such as phosphorus, iron, calcium, magnesium and iodine.

With caviar as exquisite as Astrea, it's best to keep it simple. Use a mother-of-pearl spoon and serve it chilled. You can eat it straight from the spoon for the purest flavor or pair it with something light like blinis, toast, or crème fraîche. Let the caviar melt on your tongue and enjoy the burst of flavor.
