Beluga Caviar For Sale

Product Overview

Description

Known as the most sought-after and expensive type available, Beluga caviar originates in the Caspian Sea and is also known as the Huso Huso sturgeon. Once a prominent and plentiful species in the Caspian Sea, this coveted fish has reduced in population in part due to over-farming; making caviar from the Beluga an even more desired resource. Iranian caviar from these extraordinary fish is widely considered the best in the world.

 

Beluga is the largest and rarest of all the Sturgeons. Due to the scarcity and prestige of Beluga Caviar it was known to be reserved for royal families. The flavor can only be described as a perfect balance of salt and butter undertones. It is also known to be the best tasting caviar in the world.

The Beluga Sturgeon can take up to 25 years to reach maturity.  It can measure up to 6 meters or 20 feet in length and live for more than one hundred years. The fish harvested for caviar can reach up to 2,000 pounds (900 kg).  The eggs themselves are the largest among the Sturgeon family, and range in colour from dark gray (almost black) to light gray. This particular caviar has a very distinctive rich, creamy flavour with a delicate texture.
