Absolutely incredible. The Ossetra from The Only Caviar was exceptionally clean, smooth, and refined with a rich, fresh flavor and perfect texture. No harsh or overly fishy taste at all. Easily the best caviar I’ve ever had. You can immediately taste the quality. Highly recommend.
I enjoyed it so much, I shared it with my 13 year old daughter. We ate it with water crackers and enjoyed the buttery taste. Will be buying again soon!!!
My first time ever having caviar. I took the chance with this brand and I have to be honest.....I loved it!!! I shared the tin with my 13 year old daughter and we both agreed, it tastes amazing. I think most people are afraid of the possible fishy taste or smell....not this caviar!!! It was buttery, delicious, and enjoyable from start to finish!! Oh Yes, I will be buying more!!!
I created a little experiment and purchased many caviars side by side. I have been purchasing Caviar from other companies for roughly a year now and was very pleased with the quality and flavor of The Only caviar and also appreciated the sustainability factor around its production in Italy. The Oscetria was delicious and I will be happy to purchase once again . Lovely quality !
Our favorite caviar. Unfortunately, due to a shipping error (having nothing to do with The Only), it arrived room temperature with the ice melted. I contacted them and they got another out right away and it arrived the following day. So pleased with this company and their DELICIOUS caviar!
I’d like to order again. Because I travel a lot, I use USPS instead of UPS or FedEx. I think that I received my order a day late…….it was sort of mushy, but still tasty. I have to decide how to keep the porch pirates away. Nevertheless, it’s worth the risk. Thank you.
We were served this at the Four Seasons in Puerto Rico and ordered some immediately when we got home. One of our absolute favorite caviars!! Absolutely delicious.
Hi there,
I recently had the Oscietra caviar (30g), and I wanted to share my feedback.
It was excellent—very smooth with a beautifully balanced flavor. The texture was clean and refined, and it really just melted on the palate. Rich without being overwhelming, which made it incredibly enjoyable from start to finish.
You can tell a lot of care goes into the quality. I’d definitely recommend it and would order again.
Best, Jonathan
We did not like it or hate it. It was our first time. We felt the Caviar wasn’t fresh. It had no flavor, it wasn’t bright in flavor. The Caviar was mushy. We had Balini’s, hard boiled eggs and small button potatoes with Crème Freah and Chives. The King Crab legs saved the meal. It was for a surprise on Valentines Day. We had enough for the next day, so we had brunch and Champagne. We paired the Caviar with Prosecco the night before. Very disappointing.
Arrived well packaged and perfect temperature.
The smell and flavor were amazing. I would defiantly buy again knowing the quality is Top Tier and it’s coming from a high quality source in Italy.

Serving Caviar
Keep caviar chilled in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Once opened, it’s best enjoyed within 2–3 days. To present it properly, leave the caviar in its original tin and place the tin in a bowl of ice so it stays cool. Avoid using metal spoons, as they can affect the taste—opt for our mother-of-pearl caviar spoon or horn.
Classic Pairings
Caviar is delicious on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with a range of foods and drinks, such as:
Mini pancakes
Fresh cheese
Crème fraîche or sour cream
Onion or chives
Capers
Finely chopped egg
Champagne or dry white wine
Vodka (served icy cold)
