If you’ve recently gotten your hands on a tin of premium caviar in the UAE, congratulations—you’re about to experience one of life’s true luxuries. But before you dive in, let’s talk about how to eat caviar the right way.
Because yes, there is a right way. And trust us, once you do it right, there’s no going back.

First Rule: Keep It Cold, But Not Frozen
Caviar is delicate, and it thrives when served chilled. Always store it in the coldest part of your fridge and serve it over a bed of crushed ice. Freezing? That’s a culinary crime—don’t even think about it.
At Alto Gusto UAE, we deliver our tins cold and ready to impress, ensuring you experience the roe as it’s meant to be: fresh, clean, and buttery.
Use the Right Spoon (Yes, It Matters)
This isn’t your usual table salt situation. Metal spoons can oxidize the caviar, leaving a metallic aftertaste. Opt for a mother-of-pearl, horn, or even gold spoon to preserve its integrity.
Many of our clients in Abu Dhabi and Dubai love pairing their Alto Gusto caviar tins with custom pearl spoons—trust us, it’s worth the upgrade.
Savor It Pure, Then Get Creative
If it’s your first time trying caviar, we recommend you taste it solo—just a small spoonful, allowed to rest on your tongue. Close your eyes. Let the buttery, briny pearls pop. That’s the real magic.
Then, you can start exploring:
On blinis or toast points with a dab of crème fraîche
Over soft scrambled eggs or mashed potatoes
With chilled vodka or dry Champagne (the classics never miss)
What Not to Do (Yes, We're Judging)
Don’t mix it into hot pasta—heat ruins texture.
Don’t overpower it with strong sauces.
Don’t use it as a “fancy garnish”—let it be the star.
Caviar deserves the spotlight, and if you're in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, you already have access to some of the finest on the market through Alto Gusto’s premium collection.
Make It an Occasion
Caviar isn’t just food—it’s an experience. Whether it’s a date night, a celebration, or a “treat yourself” evening, caviar sets the tone for elegance. Light candles. Chill the bubbly. Play some jazz. Elevate the moment.
