Kaviari Caviar Tasting Workshops in Paris
Discover the Kaviari tasting workshops, where culture, gastronomy and conviviality come together. Each experience invites you to savour caviar as tradition dictates, using a small mother-of-pearl spoon that respects the delicacy of the grain and releases every aroma.
Colours, textures and flavours: a comparative tasting will allow you to fully appreciate the varieties produced from different species of sturgeon, a noble fish raised with passion by expert producers.
Our Caviar Tasting Workshops
Trilogy Workshop: An Introduction to Caviar
Step into the world of caviar with ease. On the palate, you will discover the richness of its iodised, buttery aromas, revealed through elegant pairings.
Premium Workshop: Deepen Your Knowledge
A refined journey designed to sharpen your palate. Each grain of caviar reveals its delicate texture and its saline, woody or dried-fruit nuances, for a truly regal experience.
Master Workshop: Discover Caviar at Its Most Exceptional
The ultimate experience, guided by Bruno, Caviar Master. A unique moment in which each variety is tasted with impeccable service, following time-honoured rules to preserve the aromas and the quality of the product.
How to Taste Caviar the Right Way
The art of caviar tasting calls for respect and delicacy. Here are the rules to follow to preserve its quality at its very best:
- The ideal temperature: caviar should be served well chilled, straight from the refrigerator, in its tin set on a bed of ice. This preserves the texture and delicacy of the grain. The mother-of-pearl spoon: it is essential to avoid metal utensils, which alter the taste. Use a spoon made of mother-of-pearl, wood, horn or plastic to keep the subtle aromas intact.
- The traditional gesture of caviar on the hand: in certain tastings, a small amount of caviar is placed on the back of the hand, between the thumb and index finger. This ritual allows you to feel the temperature, judge the texture and savour the caviar in its purest form.
- On the palate: let the eggs burst gently to fully enjoy the iodised, buttery or hazelnut flavours, without chewing them.
- Tasting à la royale: for a more indulgent experience, caviar can be elevated by a refined pairing: brut champagne, ice-cold vodka, warm blinis or a touch of light cream.
Gourmet Pairings with Caviar: A Palette of Flavours
While caviar needs nothing more than itself, certain accompaniments enhance the tasting without masking its delicate aromas:
- Brut champagne: its fine bubbles and freshness highlight the iodised notes and silky texture of the caviar.
- Dry white wine: elegant and refined, it offers a subtle alternative, ideal for pairing caviar with dishes from the sea.
- Blinis and toast: light and neutral, they are the perfect base for serving a small spoonful of caviar.
And for lovers of rarity, wild caviar remains the ultimate experience, often enjoyed simply, with a glass of ice-cold vodka.
These accompaniments allow you to savour caviar in all its finesse, while respecting the essential rule: never mask the product — always enhance it.
When and How to Serve Caviar
Caviar graces life's greatest moments of sharing: exceptional dinners, festive celebrations or intimate meals.
Ideal as a starter, it can also elevate a refined aperitif. Whether paired with brut champagne, a dry white wine or a few warm blinis, caviar turns every moment into a unique sensory experience. Whether farmed or sourced from a prestigious house such as Kaviari, it embodies culinary luxury.
How Much Caviar per Person?
The amount of caviar depends on the type of tasting chosen. At the Kaviari workshops, the Trilogy tasting offers around 75 g of caviar per person, while the Premium and Master experiences go up to 120 g per guest.
