The farm & its care
Feed, water quality, and the care sturgeon receive contribute to the quality of their roe. We consider the practices behind production, beyond a farm’s size or country of origin.
About Dorasti · Sean & Marcus
Not All Caviar Is Created Equal.
An exceptional caviar experience begins long before a tin is opened.
We are Sean and Marcus, the brothers behind Dorasti. Drawing on more than 40 years of family experience with caviar, we bring generations of knowledge and careful selection to what reaches your table.
A family influence
Generations of knowledge. A shared responsibility.
Our father’s work in the seafood trade introduced our family to caviar long before Dorasti. His knowledge shaped the questions we ask and the standards we bring to selection.
After moving to the United States, we each followed our own path. Dorasti brought us together around a shared responsibility to the product and the people we serve.
Our name draws on the Persian word “dorost”—the idea of doing things right.
Before we choose a batch
Quality begins with the living fish.
The decisions behind a tin begin with the sturgeon and continue through harvest, processing, and salting. Each stage deserves attention.
Our family’s knowledge helps us recognize meaningful differences. Some of that knowledge is proprietary; the principles that guide our selection are straightforward.
Timing & processing
Recognizing maturity, choosing the right harvest window, and processing and salting with care all matter. The same species can deliver very different experiences.
The individual batch
We check the farms we work with and evaluate the batches we select. A familiar name alone cannot make that decision for us.
Our responsibility to you
Know what is behind your tin.
Our role is to bring traceability and clarity to your purchase: where the caviar comes from, how it is produced and handled, and why we have selected it.
We offer fresh, non-pasteurized caviar with a focus on quality and value. From choosing a style and size to serving the first spoonful, we welcome your questions.
