Some restrictions applyRegiis Ova Caviar by Chef Thomas Keller ships its famous caviar nationwide on Goldbelly! With the same large eggs and nutty flavor as our Hybrid but the creamy and soft texture as Classic, Regiis Ova’s Hybrid Classic Caviar varies in color but not in flavor. The eggs stimulate pure pleasure with their soft texture, simplicity and savor.
Chef Thomas Keller’s Regiis Ova Caviar (“Royal Egg” in Latin) is an affordable, farm-raised, and sustainably harvested caviar company based in California’s Napa Valley. Regiis Ova Caviar was founded by Keller and caviar expert Shaoching Bishop in 2018. Sourced from sturgeon farms in the U.S., Asia, and South America, the seasonal roes are rotated regularly and naturally flavored by chefs at the three Michelin-starred The French Laundry.

Farm-Raised Caviar by a Michelin-Starred Chef
Regiis Ova (“Royal Egg” in Latin) is the caviar company founded by renowned chef Thomas Keller—a name synonymous with quality and finesse. Partnering with caviar expert Shaoching Bishop (former CEO of Sterling Caviar and Tsar Nicoulai Caviar), Keller believed he could deliver better caviar to his customers at Per Se and The French Laundry (both 3 Michelin stars) at better prices by going straight to the source. Keller and Bishop are intimately tied to the product—they know each farm source well, and understand the technical knowledge behind each product.
Regiis Ova supports sustainable farming and provides chefs with high quality, affordable caviar. The team spent months visiting and sourcing from all the finest caviar farms around the world—a highly selective process wherein only a handful of sturgeon farms pass muster. Chef Keller serves this at his restaurants, for restaurant affiliates and at chef events—yes, this caviar is Keller-approved!
