Guided Caviar Tasting in Helsinki by Professionals

Taste six premium sturgeon caviars in the heart of Helsinki with Finlandia Caviar experts. Enjoy blinis and truffle toasts while learning flavors, textures, pairings, and serving tips.
Begin your journey into the world of premium caviar with a warm welcome from the Finlandia Caviar team in their elegant restaurant in the heart of Helsinki, with stunning views of the sea and Market Square. Your expert guide will introduce you to six exceptional sturgeon caviar varieties, each served in 30 g portions: Royal Baerii, White Sturgeon, Sevruga, Russian Ossetra, Kaluga, and Iranian Beluga. The caviar is served with butter-fried blinis and truffle toasts to fully enhance the flavor profile of each variety.

Beluga (Iran) – rare and refined caviar with large, smooth pearls ranging from light to dark grey. Soft, buttery texture with an elegant flavor and lingering finish. The lighter the tone, the higher the grade and the more prized the experience. A true legend for connoisseurs.

Russian Ossetra (Poland) – a classic caviar with expressive aroma and layered, elegant character. Smaller grains than Beluga, with shades from warm amber to soft gold revealing nuanced flavors: gentle marine notes, creamy richness, and a delicate nutty finish.

Royal Baerii (Siberian Sturgeon, Poland) – small, refined black and silver grains with a clean, subtle taste. An ideal introduction to the world of premium caviar.

White Sturgeon (Italy) – soft, balanced flavor without sharp brininess or overpowering sea aroma. Small, smooth, dark grains with a creamy, almost buttery taste. Refined yet approachable, perfect for newcomers and appreciated by seasoned connoisseurs for its subtle elegance.

Kaluga (China) – one of the world’s most prized caviars, known for rarity and powerful character. Large, striking eggs from 12-year-old sturgeon from Hubei province. Full-bodied, elegant taste with creamy richness that unfolds slowly and lingers. True Kaluga (Huso dauricus), not a hybrid.

Sevruga (Romania) – one of the rarest sturgeon caviars and most difficult to farm. Small, delicate eggs release intense flavor instantly. Bold, full-bodied, complex taste with notes of rich brine, silky oiliness, and lingering depth. Sevruga is refined, powerful, and unforgettable.

During the tasting, you will learn fascinating facts about each variety, how to select caviar in stores, what drinks pair best, how to serve and enjoy it, and much more practical information. Taste each variety in turn while the guide shares insider knowledge about caviar production, sustainable farming, and culinary traditions. By the end of the session, you will be able to evaluate caviar like a true connoisseur, appreciate the craftsmanship in every tin, and enjoy a hands-on, interactive, and educational experience that reveals the luxurious world of this exquisite delicacy.
