How to Choose the Right Gift Set

The choice depends on three things: the person, the occasion, and the budget.

The person. A passionate cook will appreciate the La Truffe Gift Set or the Opinel Gift Set — products he’ll use in the kitchen. Someone who appreciates beautiful things will prefer the vodka gift set, decanter, and glasses — items left on the table. Someone who isn't yet familiar with caviar would be better served by a vodka and caviar set which he can try without having to choose the side dishes.

The opportunity. An informal dinner calls for an appetizer gift set. A formal occasion—a birthday, a thank-you gift, or a wedding—deserves an exceptional gift set. The holiday season is the time to enjoy foie gras and caviar together.

The budget. Truffle gift sets start at an affordable price and increase depending on the products included. Caviar gift sets vary depending on the variety chosen—from Baeri at Royal Beluga. All of the gift boxes is available online, along with prices and detailed information about each arrangement.

Storage and Delivery

A gourmet gift set isn't a book you just put on the shelf to wait for a birthday. Fresh products—caviar, foie gras—have a limited shelf life and require the cold chain to be maintained.

Orders on Gourmandise de Luxe are shipped in insulated packaging with ice packs. Upon receipt, the caviar and foie gras should be placed in the refrigerator—between 0 and +4 °C. Our Caviar Storage Guide outlines the exact durations and conditions.

If you’re giving the gift box in person, put it in the refrigerator as soon as possible. If you’re having it delivered directly to the recipient’s home, let them know so they’ll be there to receive it—a gift box left on the porch will break the cold chain.

Dry goods—oils, sauces, condiments, and accessories—are not subject to this restriction and can be ordered well in advance.
