Royal Caviar

What Royal Caviar does

Royal Caviar is a Dubai-based premium seafood supplier and distributor founded in 2008, operating a hybrid B2B and B2C model that serves the UAE luxury HORECA segment, gourmet retailers and hypermarkets, individual consumers, and GCC cross-border customers. The company offers an extensive portfolio of more than 99 SKUs across premium sturgeon caviar varieties (Albino Almas, Royal King Beluga, Royal Gold, Beluga, Imperial, Osetra, Baeri, Sevruga), organic caviar sourced via an exclusive partnership with Riofrío of Spain, fresh and smoked salmon, fresh UAE-caught fish, frozen seafood, fish roe, Iranian saffron, and curated gift boxes and accessories. The product line is supported by in-house operational assets, including a smoking facility and mackerel processing operation located at Dubai Investment Park Industrial 2.

The underlying technology stack is operational and regulatory rather than software-driven: CITES-compliant repacking with a per-tin unique identification code enabling full chain-of-custody traceability from origin and production year to consumer, HACCP and ISO 22000:2018 certified processes, and Dubai Municipality A Gold rating. These certifications, combined with the Riofrío organic partnership, constitute the primary technical moat around premium sturgeon caviar handling in the UAE. The company does not expose APIs, SDKs, or integrations, and operates a standard WooCommerce-style e-commerce storefront at royalcaviaruae.com.

Royal Caviar's revenue model is direct product sale at unit-based pricing denominated in AED, ranging from approximately AED 13 for entry-level frozen seafood to AED 12,500 for Albino Almas caviar. The go-to-market combines an e-commerce storefront for B2C purchases, a WhatsApp Business bulk-order channel for HORECA inside sales, direct field sales to five-star hotels, first-class restaurants, catering companies and hypermarkets, supermarket shelf presence via trained merchandisers, and trade exhibition participation (Gulf Food 2026). Geographic reach is regional across the UAE and broader GCC, with no global footprint claim and no disclosed funding, M&A, or revenue figures.
