Osetra — also known as the Russian Sturgeon, Oscietra or Ossetra — is one of the most celebrated sturgeon caviars in the world, and the preferred choice of chefs and connoisseurs who value flavour complexity over prestige alone.

Farmed from Acipenser gueldenstaedtii — the Russian sturgeon — in sustainable Italian aquafarms, our Osetra delivers consistent quality year-round. The eggs are medium to large (3.0–3.2mm), glossy, and firm, with a nutty, buttery flavour layered with hints of toasted grain and dried fruit.

Perfect for tasting flights, fine dining, or gifting. Pairs beautifully with blinis and crème fraîche, or exceptional eaten straight from the tin.

What is the difference between Osetra, Ossetra, and Oscietra caviar?

Same caviar, different spellings. "Osetra" is the common English spelling, "Ossetra" is an older transliteration from Russian, and "Oscietra" follows the Italian/French-influenced spelling. All three refer to Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, the Russian sturgeon.

How does Osetra compare to Beluga caviar?

Beluga is milder and butterier — often described as the purest caviar experience. Osetra is more complex, with nuttier, earthier notes and a longer finish. Most caviar experts and chefs prefer Osetra for its flavour depth. Beluga is the name everyone knows for its large and stunning grey pearls.

What does Osetra caviar taste like?

Osetra has a rich, nutty, and buttery flavour with hints of toasted grain and dried fruit. The finish is lightly briny without being salty. The texture is firm and slightly creamy — each pearl pops cleanly on the palate.

The caviar didn't arrive on the stated delivery day, spent two days on a truck and arrived at room temp, which I think affected the taste and texture.
