About Us

Born from a deep respect for craftsmanship and a desire to upend a tired, exclusive tradition, Big Pearl exists to bring transparency, freshness, and joy back to caviar.

Founded by Ariel Arce, acclaimed NYC restauranteur (Pearl Box, Tokyo Record Bar, Roscioli etc...) and unapologetic fine-foods fanatic, Big Pearl represents a push toward the democratization of caviar, striving to give anyone with an excitable palette access to a fancy condiment for any occasion.

Whether you’re a lifelong connoisseur or just caviar-curious, we believe you deserve to enjoy it in abundance, be that on toast, with fries, off a spoon, or straight from the tin. There’s no wrong way to eat it.

Forget the rules. Eat caviar however, whenever, and as much as you want.

Our Feelings On Caviar

We founded Big Pearl in 2020 to deliver the same ultra-high-quality stuff you love… priced to enjoy whenever, wherever, you want it.

We did it because a long, long time ago, somebody somewhere decided that caviar was only for special occasions.

That person was wrong.

Sure, caviar is a treat. But treats can be had whenever you want. Because you’re an adult. And we want to give it to you.

Built on two decades of fine food and beverage experience, Big Pearl was founded in 2020 with a simple goal: to source young, fresh, and fair caviar from the world’s most promising emerging farms.
