Original Tin Caviar Gift
For the first time ever, you can have a top Browne Trading caviar arrive in an extraordinary original tin (OT). Available with a phenomenal selection of caviar best sellers, choose the tin you want! The OT includes 125 grams (4.4 ounces) of divine caviar seated in a chilled OT with custom cut foam for safe travel and fresh arrival.
For those unfamiliar with these large blue tubs, we in the caviar world refer to them as original tins, or OTs for short. They represent opulence intertwined with specialty, a superabundance of the finest things on a scale that most people only have the privilege of enjoying in small quantities. We compare an OT of caviar to a bushel of whole truffles – rare, special, and seen by few.
Throughout the year, Browne Trading Company receives OTs in various sizes from our co-branded partners. After large harvests, we can receive up to 100 kilograms at a time! Upon receipt, Rod Browne Mitchell and our caviar director Richard Hall grade the caviar inside for tone, taste, and texture. Once graded to our high standard, our caviar team meticulously weighs and packs caviar pearls into our smaller tins, one tin at a time.
For the first time ever, we're offering OTs to the public, in the form of an iconic gift set, perfect for specialty food lovers.
For your consideration, these OTs are sealed for greatness and freshness. In other words, they have a sturdy seal and require some effort for opening. We provide holes to reduce the vacuum seal but want our customers aware, these OTs have a tight lid. See our Instagram for opening here.
For anyone interested in a full OT of their favorite caviar, prior being packed out into smaller tins, please send us an email at customerservice@brownetrading.com.
Caviar Grading Process
All the caviar offered by Browne Trading is graded by our Caviar Master, Richard Hall. Grading refers to the evaluation of the caviar’s tone (color), texture (firmness), and taste.
New to Caviar?
Be sure to check out our caviar 101 guide. Note that caviar will remain optimal in your refrigerator, unopened, for 4-6 weeks. Crucially, once opened you should consume within three days.
We recommend adding our Caviar Serving Assortment to your caviar order. It includes everything you need to serve and enjoy our caviar (blinis, creme fraiche, and mother of pearl spoons).
As the only US company that has the rights to include both our logo and the caviar farms' logos on our labels, we take great pride in our close vendor relationships. They ensure we have high quality caviar every time. Check out our wonderful caviar partners for more information.
Important 12 Gram Information
We are currently rolling out a 12 gram option for some of our caviars. The 12 gram size is perfect for sampling. Due to caviar pearl's delicate texture, these small sample sized tins might reflect a softer pearl than in our larger sizes.
Additionally, the small tin requires a thinner tool than your typical caviar key. We recommend a coin or butter knife. For those looking for an easier experience, we recommend 30 grams (1 ounce) or larger.
