Dieckmann & Hansen

Since 1839, tradition, quality, and transparency have been at the heart of everything we do.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
For a product like caviar, trust, origin, and quality are of paramount importance. These values have been at the heart of our company since 1839.
Our caviar is produced in Germany. The sturgeon are raised on our own farms in France, Italy, Hungary, and Germany.

Furthermore, we maintain close, and in some cases generational, partnerships with the world's most important and renowned caviar producers who share our high standards
We assure you that every tin you receive from us has been stored, cared for, and packaged with the utmost care in Hamburg. This allows us to present you a genuine piece of Hanseatic caviar culture. This reflects our long tradition.
We wish you many more delightful moments.
The Dieckmann & Hansen team

The Fish Behind the Caviar

For over 250 million years, the sturgeon has roamed the waters of our planet—a prehistoric fish whose extraordinary life cycle forms the basis for one of the world's most fascinating delicacies. Its migrations, its slow maturation, and its particular sensitivity are what make it so unique—and so demanding of responsibility, knowledge, and respect. Learn how natural habitats, species conservation, and modern aquaculture work together to preserve the origins of caviar.
