Mother-of-Pearl Spoon: A classic choice of enjoying caviar

A mother-of-pearl spoon — the classic choice for serving caviar in style and purity.

When it comes to caviar, even the smallest details matter — including the spoon. A mother of pearl spoon isn’t just a beautiful accessory; it’s essential to enjoying caviar the way it was meant to be tasted. For those who appreciate life’s finer things, using a mother of pearl caviar spoon is part of the ritual — and for good reason. 

Why not use a metal spoon?

Serving caviar is often a special occasion—you want everything to be perfect, especially the taste. Most people use metal spoons every day, like ones made of stainless steel or silver. For many foods, this works just fine. However, caviar is different. The tiny eggs are sensitive to certain materials.

Metal caviar spoons affect the natural taste of caviar.

Think of sipping fine wine from a plastic cup – it just doesn't taste the same as from a proper glass. The same idea applies to caviar and metal spoons. When metal touches caviar, it reacts with the delicate oils in caviar, leaving a metallic aftertaste that distorts its true flavor. That slight chemical reaction, though harmless, compromises the experience. Metal dulls the rich, briny complexity of good caviar.

Why choose a Mother of Pearl Spoon?

That’s where the Mother-of-Pearl spoon becomes essential. Mother-of-pearl, also known as nacre, is a natural substance derived from the inner layer of mollusk shells. A mother of pearl spoon — also called nacre — is made from the smooth inner lining of mollusk shells. Unlike metal, it’s non-reactive and neutral, meaning it won’t interfere with flavor. This makes it the ideal tool for preserving the subtle taste of caviar.

The surface of mother of pearl spoons is also non-porous, so it doesn’t hold onto smells or flavors from previous use. With a caviar spoon mother of pearl, every bite is clean, pure, and exactly as the producer intended. The smooth texture also prevents any damage to the delicate caviar eggs. Its natural composition makes it the ideal neutral material for serving this sensitive gourmet ingredient.

There’s also elegance in tradition. Using a mother of pearl caviar spoon reflects the long-standing customs of fine dining. It’s about respect — for the ingredient and the moment. Each spoon is naturally iridescent, with its own unique shine and pattern. This not only makes it practical but adds a touch of luxury to the table.
