ABOUT US

Astrea Caviar is an AAPI-founded, women-owned brand redefining the caviar experience through purity, precision, and sustainability. Headquartered in Los Angeles and founded in 2019 by Eve Lin and Reisa Jiang, Astrea blends the artistry of luxury with the integrity of craftsmanship.

Partnering with certified sustainable farms worldwide, we produce caviar exclusively from mature sturgeon, which ensures depth of flavor and quality. Our proprietary low-salt malossol method enhances the natural umami character of the roe. Every batch of Astrea is personally vetted and selected by our founders. From there, the caviar is hand-packed in our facilities in Los Angeles and aged to maturation which builds flavor and eliminates any overly metallic notes often found in fresh roe.

Much like fine wine, our caviar is a reflection of time and patience—sturgeon are matured to 10–20 years of age, and roe is aged 1–4 months to achieve a richer, layered, complex flavor profile.

Celebrated by chefs and featured on Michelin-starred menus, Astrea Caviar transforms any moment into an indulgent experience—timeless, elevated, and unforgettable.

THE STORY BEHIND ASTREA

Our founders Eve and Reisa created Astrea with a vision in mind, combine their expertise and elevate the caviar experience as a testament to their commitment to excellence and love of the finer things in life.

Eve’s journey with food began in her childhood, where she displayed a natural affinity for creating balanced and flavorful meals. Often crafting unique combinations for her grandmother, she honed her palate early on, developing a keen sense of taste and presentation. By her teenage years, she was collecting restaurant business cards, critiquing menus, and immersing herself in the culinary world. With 15 years of experience in the luxury industry, Eve was well-prepared to lay the foundation for Astrea, blending her love of food, fine wine —particularly Burgundy—and a dedication to craftsmanship.

Reisa is an adventurer and perfectionist who embodies relentless determination. She explores the world by running marathons, summiting high mountains, while immersing herself in fine dining and exceptional wines along the way. As a candidate for the esteemed Master of Wine program and the visionary behind one of China’s most promising boutique wineries, Reisa has infused Astrea with her profound wine expertise and exceptional taste for quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is aged caviar?

Aged caviar refers to caviar that has been carefully stored under controlled conditions for a period of time (usually 1–4 months) after harvesting and salting. This aging process—similar to how wine or cheese matures—allows the roe to develop deeper, more complex flavors and a refined texture.

Aging caviar allows the roe’s natural oils and umami concentrate. The result is a richer taste, more pronounced briny and nutty notes, and a creamier, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Is your caviar natural?

We do not use borax as a preservative or food coloring to enhance the caviar’s appearance. What you see and taste comes naturally from the aging process—no additives, no dyes; just pure caviar.

How do I store and serve caviar?

Caviar should be kept refrigerated between 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit but not frozen. Once opened, we recommend that the caviar be enjoyed on the same day and kept refrigerated for a maximum of 3 days. Unopened containers can be kept fresh as long as it does not pass the expiration date.

What do I pair with caviar?

Caviar can be enjoyed by itself, with chilled champagne or vodka. Other classic accompaniments include crème fraiche, chopped chives, hard boiled egg shavings served on top of blini or toast, or simply empty a tin over scrambled eggs and indulge. Our caviar also incredible with fried chicken, crispy nuggets, burgers, French fries, or even atop vanilla soft serve. Think of caviar as the ultimate finishing touch that turns any meal into something unforgettable.

How to eat caviar

Caviar is deliciously versatile and doesn’t have to be reserved for fine dining. Enjoy it straight from the tin to fully appreciate its buttery, briny flavor, or add it to your favorite everyday bites. Classic pairings like blinis or potato chips are always a hit—but it’s also incredible with fried chicken, crispy nuggets, burgers, French fries, or even scrambled eggs. Think of caviar as the ultimate finishing touch that turns any meal into something unforgettable.

How much should I purchase?

We recommend 15g per serving. Our 30g or 50g tins are perfect for 2 people to share. A 100g tin is good for a small dinner party.

Why use mother of pearl spoons?

We suggest serving caviar with mother of pearl spoons, but plastic or wood spoons are also acceptable. Do not serve caviar with any metallic silverware as they oxidize easily and can affect the delicate taste of caviar.

What are the nutritional benefits of caviar?

Sturgeon caviar is a rich source for natural vitamins (A, B, C, D, and E) and contains healthy trace elements such as phosphorus, iron, calcium, magnesium and iodine.
