Beluga Caviar

(Huso huso)

The female beluga sturgeon takes up to twenty-five years to mature and produce eggs. Beluga caviar is the largest-grain caviar and varies in color from light to dark gray. These Beluga pearls are the most delicate and have a mild buttery flavor.

Beluga was banned from further import to the United States, as of fall 2005. For those who prefer the inherent mild buttery richness of Beluga Malossol caviar, we suggest the extremely rare Platinum Osetra caviar.

Osetra Caviar

(Acipenser gueldenstaedtii and baerii)

The female Osetra require up to ten years to produce eggs and offer medium-grain caviar of a light to dark brown color with golden highlights. These eggs are firmer in contrast to Beluga and have a nutty flavor. Golden Osetra caviar is a rare form of Osetra that is golden yellow in color and has abundantly rich flavor.

Pressed Caviar

Caviar which is judged unsuitable to be served as whole-grain (or zernistaya) becomes the perfect candidate for pressed caviar. Through a gentle curing and pressing process, pressed caviar achieves a highly concentrated consistency, suitable for slicing and spreading. Historically known as payusnaya, pressed caviar provided the alternative to czarist ice-block storage in times before refrigeration, and continues to be sought after by those who prize its unique, intense flavor.

North American Sturgeon

(Acipenser transmountanus, Scaphyrnchus plantorynchus)

The Pacific sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) most commonly indigenous to the Northern Pacific Coast, and most prevalent in the Snake, Sacramento, Columbia, and Willamette Rivers. The Pacific sturgeon is considered the largest of all the domestic sturgeon, weighing as much as a thousand pounds in the wild, with the female maturing at age 10 or 11. The caviar derived from the transmontanus overall is medium to large in grain, light grey to black in complexion, and generally very mild in flavor.

Shovelnose (Scaphirhynchus plantorhynchus), also known as hackleback, are the smallest domestic sturgeon, reaching upwards of about one meter. They are mostly populated in the midwest of the United States. The shovelnose weigh up to twenty-five pounds, and the female begins to produce caviar around the age of seven, offering a small- to mid-sized, rich and flavorful sturgeon caviar.
