Discovery Set Oscietre and Baeri Caviar
Origin France
10 years and 12 years of breeding
Two Experiences
As nature sometimes finds the perfect rhythm, certain sturgeons offer us caviar of remarkable purity, whose aromatic elegance reveals the richness of two great origins: the refined Baeri and the bolder Osciètre.
The most delicate pearls are selected for their melt-in-the-mouth texture and their unique flavor profile.
THE DISCOVERY OF CAVIAR
This discovery box is an invitation to explore two emblematic expressions of French caviar.
The Baeri Caviar, with its refined suppleness, reveals a creamy texture and an elegantly briny palate, punctuated by notes of fresh butter, tender hazelnut, and lightly toasted buckwheat.
The Osciètre Caviar, more ample, offers a longer-lasting aromatic palette, with nuances of dried fruits, roasted hazelnuts, and browned butter, ending in a long, balanced finish.
Ideal for curious amateurs and seasoned connoisseurs alike, this discovery box embodies elegance, artisanal precision, and respect for life.

What are the distinctive features of Oscietra and Baeri Caviar?
Discover two icons of French caviar
Maison Fayard’s discovery set invites you on a tasting journey through two iconic sturgeon species: Acipenser baeri, native to Siberian rivers, and Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, a noble inhabitant of the Caspian Sea, better known as Ossetra.
Baeri Caviar – Immediate finesse
Raised with care in the pure waters of Aquitaine, Baeri delivers delicate, elegant and approachable caviar.
Its supple and melting pearls reveal a subtle briny start, followed by buttery notes, fresh hazelnut and a mineral finish full of finesse.
A signature caviar, balanced and authentic – perfect for a gentle first discovery or soft indulgence.
Ossetra Caviar – Bold richness
From a slow-maturing sturgeon raised with traditional methods, Ossetra caviar impresses with firm amber-gold grains and aromatic complexity.
On the palate, the grains burst with elegance to unveil marine nuances, toasted hazelnut, and a long, refined finish.
A noble and more structured caviar, cherished by seasoned connoisseurs.
TastingTips
Serve caviar very fresh, but never frozen.
Keep it chilled on ice throughout tasting to preserve freshness and aromas.
Preferably use a mother-of-pearl spoon to avoid affecting its nuances.
For an authentic experience, enjoy it simply on the back of your hand at room temperature.
