Our Story

A Legacy of Leadership in Caviar

IKRAA Caviar traces its heritage to one of the most influential figures in the American caviar world:Β Eugene Dozortsev.

During theΒ 1980s and 1990s, Eugene was one of theΒ largest importers of Russian black caviar to the United States, holding some of theΒ highest CITES quotasΒ for sturgeon importation nationwide. He played a defining role in shaping the early luxury caviar market in Americaβ€”introducing discerning palates to authentic Caspian sturgeonβ€”and went on to become aΒ founding force behind Caviar Russe, now a Michelin-starred destination in New York City.

After building and ultimately selling that business, Eugene stepped backβ€”but the passion endured. Years later, hisΒ son Arty, along withΒ Arty’s wife Anna, chose to carry that legacy forward by foundingΒ IKRAA Caviar.

The Name Behind the Tin

The nameΒ IKRAAΒ is derived from the Russian wordΒ β€œikra”—meaningΒ caviarβ€”and ends inΒ β€œAA” as a quiet tribute toΒ Arty and Anna. It symbolizes bothΒ tradition and renewal.
