Where our Ossetra Caviar Comes From

Our Ossetra caviar is sourced ethically and legally from the finest aquaculture farms in the world. We do not sell any wild or black-market caviar. Protecting this historic and endangered species is extremely important to our mission and 10% of our profits are donated to various organizations that work to protect wild sturgeons and restore their natural habitats around the world.

How our Ossetra Caviar is Made

Raised sustainably and ethically in state-of-the-art aquaculture facilities, each Russian sturgeon is hand-picked at peak maturity using the latest filtering and ultrasound technology. The fish roe is extracted using labour-inducing techniques and then carefully filtered, inspected, cured, and aged. Once ready, the Ossetra caviar is immediately packaged and made available online for purchase to ensure ultimate freshness, flavour profile and texture.

About Ossetra (Russian) Caviar

Ossetra caviar comes from the Russian sturgeon, one most prized sturgeon species found in the wild in the Black and Caspian seas near Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Bulgaria and several other countries.

The Russian sturgeon can grow up to an impressive 2.35 meters long (almost 8 feet) and weigh as much as 115kg (255 lbs). Females can take up to 16 years to mature and begin producing their precious roe (fish eggs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The amount of caviar you need will depend on the amount of people that will be enjoying it. As a rule of thumb, 28 grams (1 ounce) is enough for 1 to 2 people.

Although we do not recommend doing so, you can freeze a sealed jar or tin of caviar for up to one year. The caviar will lose some of its flavor and texture as time goes on.
A sealed jar or tin of caviar should be kept in the fridge around -2 to 0 Celsius (28 to 32 Fahrenheit) to preserve its freshness, flavor, and texture.
All our caviar products are ethically sourced from sustainable farms. We do not sell wild caviar. Wild caviar is illegal in many countries.
Sturgeon caviar comes in a wide range of colors, even from within the space species. For example, Ossetra caviar naturally comes in a range of colors from Golden Brown to Dark Brown so what you receive may differ slightly from what is pictures. If the color is significantly different, for example it is black instead of golden brown, please get in touch with us.
