About Petrossian

For nearly ninety years, Petrossian caviar has stood for excellence. This legacy of quality began when two brothers, Melkoum and Mouchegh Petrossian, moved to France and distributed caviar from the sturgeons of the bountiful Caspian Sea. It developed as Petrossian expanded, with a restaurant in New York City and a product line that includes savory foie gras and sweet French chocolates. And it continues today, as Petrossian became the first major distributor to work with sturgeon farms, providing gourmet sustainable options with a taste that holds a place on the mantle alongside beluga, sevruga and ossetra caviars.http://www.petrossian.com/
