This is for the host who knows that opening a tin can be its own little ceremony.

The Pearle Caviar Gift Box turns apéro into an occasion, with hand-packed Pearle made from a base of kombu, tamari and tomato for a delicate burst of briny, savoury umami. The presentation is wonderfully considered: a keepsake stainless steel serving shell, a tasseled mother-of-pearl spoon and a caviar key for proper service.

It is shelf-stable at room temperature before opening, which makes gifting refreshingly uncomplicated, though it is best served chilled. A clever hostess or client gift for someone who appreciates good food and a touch of theatre at the table.
