Petra Higby

Petra Higby is the CEO and co-founder of The Caviar Co., the sustainably focused brand she launched in 2015 with her sister Saskia, growing it from a single apartment fridge into a retail shop, tasting room, and nationally distributed name.

Originally from Lubbock, Texas, she began her career working hands-on in caviar production and sales, shaping her mission to demystify the industry and champion sustainable, transparent sourcing—believing “there’s a caviar for every day of the week.” A mother of two and active community supporter, her book Caviar Dreams celebrates the passion that turned a niche delicacy into a thriving, woman-led business.

Once sacred, then indulgent, caviar has always meant more than taste, rooted in ritual, carried through history, reserved for moments that mark arrival. It moves effortlessly between worlds: myth and modernity, refinement and irreverence, quiet ceremony and unapologetic pleasure.

Tiny spoons. Large gestures. Old rules, gently bent. What was once distant now feels intimate - chosen, savored, intentional. Caviar Dreams is an invitation to linger, to experience luxury not as excess, but as presence.

Some people don't understand caviar.They think it's just fish eggs,
but it's much more than that.It's about indulgence, history, and refinement.

This book exists because of an extraordinary community of collaborators. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who believed in this vision and helped bring it to life: from the creatives and writers who shaped the story, to the chefs, artists, and photographers who shared their craft so generously, to the team who kept everything moving behind the scenes. What began as a quiet dream became a reality through trust, creativity, and collective passion. I couldn’t have done this without you, and I’m endlessly thankful.
