Caviar Price in UAE 2026: The Complete AED Price List and Where to Buy

Finding accurate caviar prices online in the UAE is surprisingly difficult. Most suppliers ask you to “call for pricing” or list vague ranges that change at checkout. This guide solves that—publishing our actual, current AED prices for every variety we stock at Caviar Heritage, updated every month, so you can compare honestly and order with confidence.

We have supplied Dubai’s most demanding restaurants, hotels, and private clients since 2001. This page covers Beluga, Osetra, Almas, Siberian, Kaluga, and red caviar prices in the UAE—with size options, flavor notes, CITES information, and direct buy links.

Why Does Caviar Price Vary So Much in the UAE?

Buyers frequently ask why “Beluga caviar” appears at prices ranging from AED 200 to AED 2,000 from different UAE sellers. The difference is not marketing — it comes down to four concrete factors.

1. CITES Certification Status

Sturgeon species are protected under CITES. Every legal import of sturgeon caviar into the UAE requires CITES export and import permits attached to the specific lot. Suppliers who skip this documentation can source uncertified products at a fraction of the price—but selling them is illegal. Always request the CITES certificate number before purchasing.

2. Species and Genuine Identity

The true beluga is Huso huso—a species that takes 15–25 years to mature and whose harvest is tightly regulated. Some sellers label Acipenser baerii (Siberian sturgeon) as beluga to justify a higher price. Always check the Latin species name on the tin and documentation.

3. Grade and Processing Quality

Malossol—meaning “little salt” in Russian—is the benchmark for premium caviar. It uses minimum salt to let the natural flavor dominate. An over-salted product is cheaper to produce but masks quality defects. Grain size, color uniformity, and membrane integrity all affect the grade and price.

4. Cold-Chain Integrity

Caviar stored or transported above 4°C degrades rapidly. Maintaining a dedicated cold chain from farm to customer is a real operational cost. Suppliers cutting logistics costs are selling you degraded products regardless of what the label says.

Which Caviar Should You Buy in the UAE?

The right choice depends on your occasion, experience level, and budget. Here is an honest guide.

Buying caviar for the first time

Start with Caviar Ocietra (AED 166 / 30g) or Caviar Royal Baerii (AED 157 / 30g). Both are genuine CITES-certified sturgeon caviars that deliver the full caviar experience without the premium of beluga. Serve chilled on a mother-of-pearl spoon with blinis and crème fraîche.

For a special occasion or dinner party

Royal Beluga Huso Huso (AED 387 / 30g) or Heritage Gold (AED 510 / 30g) are the correct choices. Budget approximately 20–30 g per person as a starter. Pair with Brut Champagne or chilled premium vodka.

For corporate gifting in Dubai

Our caviar gift sets — with mother-of-pearl accessories and presentation packaging — are the most requested option among UAE corporate clients. The Heritage Gold combination performs strongly for Ramadan, Eid, and executive gifting events.

For restaurant or hotel supply

We supply 500+ F&B operations across the UAE. Our Tobiko range and salmon caviar are high-volume products for Japanese restaurants and hotel buffets. Contact us for wholesale pricing.

How to Verify You Are Buying Genuine Caviar

The UAE market has grown significantly in recent years, bringing both excellent suppliers and operators selling uncertified, mislabeled, or poorly stored products. Here is what to check:

• ◆Request the CITES permit number. Every legal sturgeon caviar import has a CITES permit with a unique reference number. If a supplier hesitates, that is your answer.
• ◆Check the Latin species name on the can. Legitimate caviar labels include the species name (e.g., Huso huso, Acipenser gueldenstaedtii). Generic labels saying only “Beluga” without a species designation are a red flag.
• ◆Ask about cold-chain delivery. If the answer is a standard courier or ambient delivery, the product quality will be compromised on arrival.
• ◆Look for “malossol” on the label. This indicates low-salt preservation—the premium standard. Heavy salting masks quality defects or older stock.
• Verify the supplier’s track record. A supplier operating in the UAE since 2001 with 500+ restaurant partnerships is a fundamentally different risk from a new online-only seller.
