Sturgeon Caviar

When we talk about true caviar, we mean the entire range of Sturgeon caviar (or Sturgeon roe sometimes) because only the species of the Sturgeon family are the source of the product that is frequently referred to as ‘black caviar’, just like in the Russian language where this tradition originated.

After a significant decrease in the Sturgeon population in its natural environment, aquafarms became extremely important in supplying highly wholesome and delicious products like caviar and fish flesh in a sustainable manner, allowing people to buy Sturgeon at a reasonable price without harming the wild nature.

The kinds of Sturgeon caviar

Kaluga caviar is of high quality and is notable for being the closest substitute for the highly valued Beluga Sturgeon caviar, which was banned for importation in 2006. The Kaluga, which is very similar to the Beluga fish, is the world’s biggest river fish and is often referred to as the “river Beluga” because it spends the majority of its life in river basins rather than the sea, as the Beluga does. This massive species also has big eggs that range in color from amber to pale gold to jet black and have a pearlescent envelope.
The most popular and sought-after caviar is Osetra Sturgeon caviar. This is the best Sturgeon caviar in terms of flavor, taste, appearance, quality, and price. There are many different types of it, each with its own flavor, taste, size, and texture, but what they all have in common is the perfect balance of salinity, unrivaled natural sea flavor, buttery juice under soft and delicate envelope, and the world famous and highly appreciated refreshing nutty flavor, which is slightly more pronounced than that of Beluga and Kaluga.

Sevruga is smaller than Osetra but it doesn’t make its flavor less noticeable Vice-versa Sevruga is famous for its most intense flavor; it is both smooth and intense, combining rich sea notes with caviar’s traditional nuttiness. The smaller size of the pale to dark gray juicy beads has no effect on the price of caviar sturgeon, which is slightly lower and more affordable.
Sterlet is the smallest fish in the Sturgeon family, so the eggs are small as well, but the quality and flavor far outweigh their diminutive size. It is comparable to Sevruga, but in terms of flavor and appearance, it is superior. Its flavor is more pronounced and rich, while retaining the traditional nuttiness and buttery texture of the juicy brine inside the small pale to deep gray eggs. The price of sterlet sturgeon will satisfy any true gourmet.
Siberian Sturgeon caviar is produced from farmed fingerlings from Siberia and, due to its nearly identical edible quality, size, and appearance, it can clearly compete with Ossetra in the caviar Sturgeon price.
Hackleback is a type of native American sturgeon that produces true caviar that is comparable to Sevruga and Osetra in flavor, taste, size, and texture. Because of its short maturation period, the Hackleback is easier to farm, allowing more people to purchase sturgeon caviar.
