About My Business

New Zealand Caviar House is Aotearoa’s first and only dedicated Caviar House, pioneering an entirely new sector in the nation’s luxury culinary landscape. Guided by Director and Caviarologist Victoria Kirichuk, this boutique micro-business bridges the gap between ultra-premium international gastronomy and discerning local consumers. Based out of Puhoi, I operate in partnership closely with the artisan network at Puhoi Organic Distillery (my parents’ business) to offer exclusive, bespoke pairings. Social consciousness is embedded in my DNA. I believe that true luxury should never compromise environmental integrity or human wellness. To achieve this, 100% of imported Sturgeon Caviar is strictly sourced from sustainable, legally registered, CITES-certified European aquafarm. Unlike conventional market options, this premium Sturgeon Caviar is completely borax-free, unpasteurised, hormones-free and antibiotics-free. Prepared by traditional Malossol method (2.8% salt only), it remains a living, nutritionally dense product that prioritises consumer well-being. I am proud to have obtained exclusive rights to distribute unique Sturgeon Caviar from the elite European supplier recognized with multiple top Awards at the World Caviar Awards in Monaco 2024 & 2025. This World-renowned quality is vital for the luxury hospitality sector, especially as global standards like the Michelin Star system elevate New Zealand’s fine-dining expectations. New Zealand Caviar House provides the essential, ultra-premium Sturgeon Caviar for the very first time in the New Zealand’s history. I prove that a passionate, highly focused Kiwi enterprise can introduce world-class innovation while maintaining a strictly ethical, sustainable, and health-conscious foundation. For instance, starting from 23 July 2026, New Zealand Caviar House was invited for a high-profile collaboration with luxury skincare titan La Prairie Switzerland, world-renowned champions of the extraordinary cell-nutritional benefits of pure Sturgeon Caviar. Whether executing educational masterclasses, supplying the country's top restaurants, or facilitating the company’s signature "Caviar Bumps" at premier events, New Zealand Caviar House is reshaping the hospitality industry. I am happy to announce that starting from 2024 a fine range of the best genuine Sturgeon Caviar, including the legendary and rare Beluga (Huso Huso), is available to the NZ consumers. Besides facilitating the import, proper storage of Caviar, designing the finest Caviar experiences, and, of course, providing express chilled delivery to the individual and corporate customers across NZ, the very important direction of my business is infotainment, aimed at enabling the multi-angle education and proper appreciation of Sturgeon Caviar (its history, gourmet serving and consumption traditions, telling fake caviar from real, and benefits for health).
