Petrossian, (officially Petrossian S.A.) is a French company founded in 1920 by 2 Armenian brothers, Melkoum Petrossian and Mouchegh Petrossian,^[1] who introduced caviar to Paris, France. Over the years, the Petrossian family has passed on its knowledge and expertise in the art of caviar maturation, a traditional craftmanship still done by hand in house, by Petrossian’s caviarologists.

In addition to caviar and fine food, the company started branching into smoked fish in the 1930’s.
