Golden Goat caviar is sourced from sustainably farmed sturgeon raised in pristine aquaculture environments across Poland, Belgium, Greece, the USA, Madagascar, the famous Amur River and more. Every tin meets strict standards for ethical farming, water quality, and freshness.

No. Golden Goat caviar is completely free from preservatives, additives, and artificial ingredients. Each tin contains only premium sturgeon roe and a precise amount of salt, preserving the natural purity, texture, and flavor of the caviar.

Golden Goat is committed to responsible, sustainable operations across our entire supply chain. We partner with BRC, SQF, and SGS accredited farms that use responsible aquaculture systems such as RAS. We also offer a tin-recycling program for our wholesale partners, and all styrofoam used at our facility is diverted into a specialized recycling process that repurposes it into new materials. These initiatives reflect our long-term dedication to sustainability and continuous improvement.

Store your unopened caviar tin in the coldest part of your refrigerator at 0–4 °C (32–39 °F). Once opened, consume within 24–48 hours for the best flavor and texture. Caviar should never be frozen, as freezing damages the delicate pearls.

Once opened, your caviar should be consumed within 24–48 hours for peak freshness and kept refrigerated between servings to preserve the highest quality.

No. Freezing breaks the structure of the eggs and alters texture and taste. Always keep your caviar refrigerated and enjoy it fresh for the best experience.

Serve your caviar cold on a bed of crushed ice, using a mother-of-pearl spoon (never metal) to preserve its flavor. Enjoy it first on its own, then elevate the experience with truffle chips, blinis, buttered toast, soft-boiled eggs, or crème fraîche.

For pairings, Champagne and icy vodka are timeless classics — but for a modern twist, chilled tequila also makes an exceptional match.

Golden Goat caviar is naturally gluten-free and contains no additives — however, it is a fish product, which is considered a major allergen. Anyone with a fish allergy should avoid consuming caviar.

Use a caviar key or small flat utensil and insert it gently into the tin’s ridge. Twist to lift the seal without bending the lid. For your safety and to avoid damage to the tin, avoid knives or sharp metal tools, which may damage the tin or disturb the pearls inside.

A “caviar bump” is a fun and modern tasting ritual where a small scoop of caviar is placed on the back of your hand and eaten directly from the skin. It warms slightly before tasting, enhancing its aroma, texture, and flavor — a popular choice at events and tastings.

Golden Goat offers a curated collection of caviars varying in species, flavor, pearl size, and texture.

For beginners: Classic Ossetra or Kaluga (balanced, approachable).

For connoisseurs: Ossetra Royal, Imperial Ossetra, Royal White Sturgeon, Kaluga Grand Cru (deeper complexity, bolder flavors).

Choose based on your palate, occasion, serving style, or gifting needs.

Each variety offers its own distinct tasting experience:

Ossetra — Firm pearls with sophisticated nutty, briny notes.

Kaluga — Larger, buttery pearls with a rich, luxurious finish.

White Sturgeon — Smooth, clean, and elegant with a classic caviar profile.

Your ideal choice depends on whether you prefer bold, buttery, or delicately refined flavors.

Sturgeon can take 14–21 years to produce their first roe, and only a fraction yield pearls graded at the highest levels. Golden Goat caviar reflects decades of cultivation, meticulous harvesting, sustainable aquaculture, and strict quality control. Our pricing reflects this craftsmanship, traceability, and the luxury experience delivered in every tin.

Golden Goat caviar is fresh, minimally salted malossol caviar — a traditional method that uses very little salt to preserve the natural flavor and texture of the roe. We do not use heavy pasteurization that can compromise quality.

Each tin includes detailed traceability information, including species, batch number, harvest date, and country of origin. We maintain strict farm-to-tin documentation across all partner farms.

For tastings or appetizers, plan for 15–30 grams per person. For indulgent servings or special occasions, choose 50–100 grams per guest. Smaller tins work well for bumps or Champagne pairings, while larger tins are ideal for entertaining.

For events or larger gatherings, we recommend:

• 2 oz (56 g) per person for tasting-style servings
• 3–4 oz (85–113 g) per person for more generous portions
• 1 lb+ (454 g) tins for weddings, corporate functions, or private dining
• Larger tins offer the best value and ensure an impressive presentation when serving groups.
