Our Story
In 1991, we started Paramount Caviar in pursuit of providing the highest quality caviar to the most discerning palates. Over the years, our caviar has been experienced in the country's most high-end restaurants and hotels, and now in the comfort of your home. No matter where you are or what the occasion is, caviar should be a celebrated experience. We are honored to serve you and to be a part of your memories.
Caspian Heritage
Our story begins with our founder's, Hossein Aimani's, upbringing on the shores of the Caspian Sea region. It was on there that Hossein saw sturgeons be caught and caviar be harvested to be sold in local markets. Growing up, Hossein fondly remembers many family celebrations with caviar being served on freshly toasted bread and traditional regional tea.
Two Paths to Luxury
In the '80s, Hossein built his caviar expertise by selling to New York's elite restaurants, including Le Bernardin and The Waldorf Astoria. Meanwhile, Amy Arrow-Aimani was leading luxury retail and gift divisions at New York's Bergdorf Goodman before she moved to Neuchatel Chocolates to lead their North American sales division.
Caviar's Love Story
Finally, one fateful summer day, Hossein and Amy found themselves on opposite sides of the aisle at the New York Fancy Food Show where Hossein was representing another caviar brand and Amy was representing Neuchatel Chocolates. The two had dinner that night and three years later in 1991, Paramount Caviar was born.
