Quick answer
Choose the tin by how the caviar will be served: a 50g tin (from AED 525) is a tasting for a small table, while 125g, 250g, 500g and 1kg tins at Crown Caviars cover dinners, entertaining and events, with price scaling in proportion to weight.
Few questions come up more often when buying caviar than "how much do I need?" The honest answer depends on whether caviar is the main event or one course among many, so here is a practical way to choose a tin size at Crown Caviars.
Start with how you will serve it
Caviar is rich and best enjoyed in small, deliberate spoonfuls, so you need far less than you would of most luxury foods. If it is a single indulgent course or a toast to start the evening, a little goes a long way. If it is the centrepiece of the table, plan on more.
The number of guests, the other dishes on the menu and how adventurous your guests are with caviar all shift the amount. When in doubt, it is better to have a little extra chilled in the fridge than to run short mid-course.
The five tin sizes
Every variety at Crown Caviars is offered in 50g, 125g, 250g, 500g and 1kg tins.
The 50g tin is the easiest entry point for a tasting for two, a first-time try or a small gift. Baeri starts from AED 525 per 50g, Russian Asetra from AED 575 and Caspian Black Beluga from AED 850.
The 125g and 250g tins suit dinner parties and relaxed entertaining, while 500g and 1kg tins are made for large gatherings, weddings and events. Price scales with weight, so larger tins usually offer better value per gram.
Make the most of every tin
Open the tin only when guests are ready, keep it nestled in a bowl of crushed ice at the table, and serve with a mother-of-pearl spoon rather than metal so the flavour stays clean. Plain blinis, lightly buttered toast or a little crème fraîche let the caviar lead.
Mother-of-pearl spoons start from AED 80. For a gift, pair a tin with a luxury presentation box from AED 175. Every order is dispatched refrigerated in an unbroken cold chain across Dubai, the UAE and the GCC.
