How to throw a lavish caviar party

Caviar is best enjoyed when shared with others. Caviar parties are a great way to bring caviar lovers together to indulge in the rich flavor of high-quality caviar. However, more goes into a caviar party than serving caviar. Carefully consider the type of caviar you serve, the menu and your drink pairings to create a truly immersive and enjoyable experience. 

3 Steps for Planning a Caviar Party

A caviar party is a luxurious way to celebrate or enjoy the company of friends and family. If you want to impress your guests, use the following tips and tricks to elevate your party.

1. Set a Dress Code

Caviar is a classy, luxurious food that needs to be accompanied by a formal experience. Enjoying caviar while wearing a fashionable outfit can enhance your experience and make you feel lavish and important.

2. Provide the Proper Hardware

Metal silverware can cause oxidation and alter the taste of caviar. When oxidized, caviar loses some of its natural flavors and takes on some of the properties of the metal utensil. To avoid affecting the taste of your caviar, you can use special caviar spoons made of mother of pearl, wood, tortoiseshell, animal horn, glass, gold or plastic. 

3. Serve High-Quality Caviar

Lower-quality caviar can bring down even the best party. You also want to offer your guests a good variety of caviar to please different palettes and keep your guests interested. If you only serve the same caviar throughout the night, guests may get bored. A selection of premium caviar will allow guests to enjoy trying new types of caviar and keep them intrigued about what will come next. 

How to Pick Your Caviar

With so many caviar options available, you'll want to make sure you choose caviar that will be a crowd-pleaser. Shopping for caviar from a trusted, high-quality provider is one of the best ways to ensure you serve delicious caviar to your guests. 

Have a selection of caviar available for guests to try. Consider offering a traditional option as well as caviar your guests may have never tried before. When choosing your caviar selection, consider the following:

  • Texture: The texture of caviar is almost as important as its flavor. Caviar has a signature buttery texture that your guests are sure to notice. Your caviar should never have a mushy texture or be considered chewy or crunchy — there should always be some firmness. 
  • Flavor: While different types of caviar have unique flavor profiles, a well-loved flavor is caviar with a buttery, salty taste. Caviar may also have a hint of sweetness or a nutty flavor. 
  • Finish: Eating caviar is an immersive experience that continues after the dish is swallowed. The flavors of caviar remain on the tongue and can even change slightly. Sipping vodka or Champagne after eating caviar can help bring out new flavors. Some caviar has a longer-lasting finish than others, so consider this when choosing your offerings. 

A fabulous assortment of caviar can set the tone for the perfect caviar party. By considering the texture, flavor and finish of all of your caviar dishes, you're sure to please your guests.

Different Types of Caviar

If you're new to the caviar world, finding the perfect caviar to serve can feel overwhelming. Luckily, there are a few classic options that are guaranteed crowd-pleasers. Consider adding one of the following caviar selections to your party's menu:

  • Ossetra: High-quality Royal Ossetra is a delicious, rich option with a bold and briny flavor. Ossetra has a firm texture that creates a satisfying pop. 
  • American: American caviar may be less prestigious than other options, but its flavors and textures are still enjoyable. If you see American caviar in stores, keep in mind that the labels may be misleading. Your best option is to shop for caviar from a reputable online distributor. 
  • Sevruga: With an intense flavor profile and unique texture, Sevruga caviar is a show-stopping option to include at your caviar party. Sevruga eggs are smaller than other types of caviar, which creates an enjoyable experience, as each bite contains more eggs than a bite of other types of caviar. 
  • Kaluga: Kaluga caviar is a freshwater option with bold flavors and a creamy texture. For an even more luxurious experience, try a Kaluga Hybrid Reserve caviar.
  • Beluga: Beluga caviar is extremely sought-after. However, buying and selling Beluga caviar in the United States is illegal because the Beluga sturgeon is more critically endangered than almost any other species. 

How to Serve Caviar

The best way to serve caviar depends on if you plan to serve it on its own or as part of a larger dish. If you're serving caviar to be enjoyed on its own, it should be served over ice in a nonmetallic bowl. Use nonmetallic spoons such as glass, mother of pearl or tortoiseshell when enjoying.

If your dinner party includes caviar appetizers or entrees such as caviar-topped filet mignon, you'll want to let your caviar sit out at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. The serving size for caviar is between ½ ounce and 1 ounce per guest. 

Looking to create the perfect caviar party appetizers? Try these delicious appetizers at your next gathering to impress your guests:

  • Cream cheese-stuffed mushrooms: This savory and creamy snack is the perfect way to start your dinner party. Add caviar to the cream cheese or serve caviar as a side option for dipping the mushrooms. Don't be surprised if these cream cheese-stuffed mushrooms go fast!
  • Caviar tartare with salmon and tomato: A refreshing and scrumptious option, caviar tartare with salmon and tomato will surely please your guests. This is a very simple recipe, but it looks and tastes luxurious.
  • Caviar cucumber boats: Caviar cucumber boats are another simple appetizer that allows the caviar to shine. Cucumber is an ideal pairing for caviar because its mild flavor complements caviar's bold taste. 

Drink Pairings

Parties with caviar are a time for indulging in the finer things in life, including a crisp glass of Champagne or other alcoholic beverages. Champagne is a classic drink pairing with caviar because its clean, refreshing taste works well with the saltiness of caviar. Opt for a chilled brut Champagne in elegant flute glasses to elevate the experience. 

You can also enjoy any of the following drinks with your caviar:

  • Chilled vodka with a lemon wedge
  • Porter beer
  • Amber ale beer
  • Dry white wine
