Petrossian is one of the most iconic names in French luxury gastronomy, internationally recognized for its long-standing expertise in caviar and fine delicacies. Founded in Paris in 1920 by Armenian brothers Melkoum and Mouchegh Petrossian, the company played a defining role in introducing caviar to French haute cuisine and transforming it into a global symbol of refinement and luxury.

Over more than a century, Petrossian has evolved from a specialist caviar house into a broader gourmet brand offering smoked salmon, seafood delicacies, foie gras, truffle products, pastries, chocolates, and curated gastronomic gift collections. The company’s core identity remains rooted in its expertise in sourcing, selecting, salting, and maturing caviar rather than farming sturgeon directly, with craftsmanship and sensory precision central to its positioning.

Petrossian is also known for pioneering its own concept of “caviarology”, emphasizing deep product knowledge and tasting expertise. While firmly anchored in French savoir-faire, the brand maintains strong ties to its Armenian heritage and the historic caviar traditions of the Caspian region.

Its original Paris boutique remains a landmark of the brand’s identity, while Petrossian has expanded internationally through boutiques, restaurants, and premium retail distribution. Today, Petrossian is widely regarded as one of the global benchmark brands in the world of high-end gourmet food and luxury caviar.
