Two hundred and fifty or five hundred grams may look like a choice of size, but at a celebration it is mainly a choice about service. The useful question is not ‘Which looks more impressive?’ It is how many people will taste it, on how many occasions and with how much in each bite. With those three figures, the tin stops being a guess.
Calculate from the actual menu
Write down the number of guests who will really take part and the portion planned for each occasion. Fifty guests at 5 g amount to 250 g; fifty guests at 10 g amount to 500 g. If only some of the table will try the caviar, use that number rather than the total attendance. If there will be a second round, add it as a separate line so a single appetiser is not confused with two passes.
The quantity per person depends on how prominent you want the caviar to be. A welcome spoonful, a bite on potato and an unhurried tasting do not call for the same weight. If you do not yet know how much to serve, make a sample, weigh it and decide whether it expresses what you want. Multiplying a measure you have actually tried is more reliable than imagining the size of a spoon in a photograph.
One large tin or several openings
The catalogue offers individual 250 g and 500 g tins alongside smaller formats. More than one combination can provide the same total amount. If guests arrive in two waves or the caviar appears at separate moments, ask whether several tins would make sense, opening each close to its service. The decision must always respect the label and the real arrangements for keeping the product cold, not an editorial assumption.
Also establish who will weigh the portions, where the clean utensils will be and who will take charge of keeping the caviar chilled. When an event team is involved, those details belong in the plan. The final picture can be very simple: a well-prepared tray, a bite that is easy to pick up and enough time to enjoy it.
Ask before you settle the plan
Comparing price per gram cannot replace confirming availability, destination and conditions for your chosen date. Bring a short brief to the conversation: guest count, grams per person, number of rounds, location and time. With that information, Cofré can assess the format or service that fits. You can focus on what matters: the first portion arriving well served and the caviar playing the role you planned for it in the celebration.
