Pointy Snout
Siberian Caviar
Editor’s Notes:
Authentic, farm-raised Acipenser baerii—the caviar being offered here, is often identified by its common name of ‘Siberian’, and is proven to derive from the broodstock of sturgeon that originated in the Ob River in Western Siberia, but it is not produced in Siberia. During the last 55 years, and over many generations, the broodstock has been farmed in dozens of countries, including Poland, where this shipment comes from. The quality of natural resources—soil, air, and water—create a pristine environment to raise the fish. The result is a memorable, character-rich tasting experience—accessible, generous and a genuine reflection of the terroir from which it comes.
Pointy Snout is an audacious reinvention of a venerable luxury; the go-to brand for transparency and responsibility: caviar unbridled from pomp and rhetoric and with a modern conscience.

The only ingredients in Pointy Snout’s caviar are responsibly farmed sturgeon roe and salt. As such, it’s highly perishable. When you receive your caviar, immediately take it out of the shipping container and store it in the coldest part of your refrigerator—generally in the back—at a temperature of 28º - 35º F. Unopened, it will stay fresh for up to 4 weeks.
Pointy Snout recommends consuming it immediately—tout suite. To serve, take the tin out of the refrigerator 30 minutes ahead. Do not open the lid until a few minutes before actually serving. If you don’t finish the caviar, place Saran wrap gently over the surface of the eggs and close the lid firmly. For extra care, completely wrap the whole tin with plastic wrap, and again store in the coldest part of the refrigerator. If you take these steps, you can safely keep the caviar for another 1-2 days. Please note, however, that once a tin has been opened, the flavor begins to deteriorate. Never freeze caviar, whether in or out of the tin.
Orders will be sent directly by the brand. Expect to receive a confirmation e-mail with tracking details as soon as your order has shipped. Thank you.
