Caviale Platinum Selection
La Platinum Selection si riconosce dalle perle grigio-argento: grandi, lucenti, dal pop deciso e dal lungo finale nocciolato. Non salmastra. Non pesante. Esattamente ciò che l'acqua alpina austriaca e un allevamento attento producono quando le condizioni sono quelle giuste.
Non ogni raccolto si qualifica. Platinum è un grado, non un prodotto. Ogni lotto viene valutato singolarmente — per colore, dimensione, consistenza e profondità di sapore. Circa il 10 % della produzione annuale raggiunge lo standard. Prodotto fresco ogni settimana a Salisburgo, non pastorizzato, disponibile solo quando il raccolto della settimana lo consente.
Platinum Selection
What defines a Selection
Not every harvest qualifies. Platinum Selection represents the finest roe from each season — individually assessed, never compromised. The benchmark for Austrian caviar.
Master Grade Roe
Individually graded for size, colour and firmness. Only the finest batches carry the Platinum label.
Peak Maturity
Harvested at the precise moment of optimal maturity — years of patience in every tin.
Rare by Definition
Only approximately 10 % of the annual production qualifies as Platinum Selection. Most caviar from the same harvest never carries this label.

Austrian caviar at its finest — explained clearly.
What is Platinum Selection?
Platinum Selection is Eichinger's finest standard caviar — sourced from mature Siberian and Osietra sturgeon raised in Austrian Alpine water, then individually graded for colour, size and firmness. Only the top percentage of each harvest qualifies.
The result: a caviar of exceptional consistency, clarity of flavour and remarkable texture.
Taste
Clean and balanced, with a pronounced nuttiness and a long, creamy finish. Platinum offers a depth that reveals itself gradually — neither too briny nor too mild. The ideal caviar for those seeking a reference-quality experience without the inaccessibility of rarer varieties.
How to serve
Serve chilled at 2–4 °C. Allow the tin to rest briefly at room temperature before opening. Always use a mother-of-pearl spoon — metal distorts the delicate flavour. Pure on first tasting; blinis or crème fraîche may be introduced thereafter.
The Selection Grade
Platinum Selection is not a separate product — it is a grade. Each year, a tasting panel evaluates the full harvest at Grüll. Only tins that meet an exceptional threshold in pearl size, texture, colour consistency, and flavour depth carry the Platinum label.
Approximately 10 % of annual production qualifies. The rest is released as standard Baerii or Osietra. The tin in your hands did not happen by default.
Availability
Eichinger produces fresh caviar every week. In rare cases — very rare — a fish from that week's harvest carries caviar of Platinum grade. When it does, that batch is listed immediately in the quantities it yields. Nothing is held back. Nothing is replicated.
There is no schedule. No guaranteed next batch. If Platinum Selection is available now, it is because the right fish was harvested this week. That does not happen on demand.
