Guiness World Record title for world largest caviar tin broken in Dubai

Dubai: The 50kg serving of caviar at a dala dinner in Dubai smashed the previous Guinness World Record for the world’s largest caviar tin, which was recorded in 2016 weighing in at 17kg.
Atlantis, The Palm teamed up with luxury US caviar company AmStur on New Year’s eve to create the impossible and break the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest caviar tin.
The 50kg serving was presented to guests in a custom-made, diamond shaped caviar tin coined ‘Cleito’ after the famous goddess known as the ‘Mother of Atlantis’.
The 98cm x 74cm tin was created using the finest R16 Stainless Steel and had special compartments to store frozen ice gel to ensure the appropriate temperature of the deliciously flavourful AmStur Premium Select caviar.
Alongside an official Guinness World Record™ adjudicator, who judged the attempt live from the New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner, over 5,000 lucky guests enjoyed taking part in this unforgettable event, snapping pictures with the tin and consuming the entire 50kg amount over the course of the evening, using custom-engraved mother-of-pearl spoons, produced to commemorate the occasion.
After checking that the attempt was verified and the team adhered to the guidelines the Guinness World Record adjudicator commented; “It was exciting to see another Guinness World Records title being broken here in Dubai – you are Officially Amazing!”
