Caviar

Caviar Galilee sturgeon are raised in water from the melting snows of Mount Hermon. This pure water supplies the live sturgeon ponds naturally, runs back into the Jordan River, and finally back to the Sea of Galilee. The Galilee sturgeon farmed here produce 100% pure Osetra caviar and are raised as close to natural conditions as in the wilds of their native Caspian Sea.

Large grain pearls with dark blonde to gold color. Firm texture and a creamy finish similar to Beluga caviar.

From the Amur River between China and Russia comes this exquisite caviar produced from the offspring of Huso dauricus & Acipenser schrenkii sturgeon. Banned from export and harvest to protect wild stocks, the Schrenki Sturgeon was among many species restocked in the 1990s to be aquacultured for its meat, then soon after for its roe. Under the direction of Iranian Master Caviar Specialists, these fish are meticulously harvested using some of the most advanced aquaculture methods available today.

This large river sturgeon matures in 7-10 years and produces caviar which is light brown to light grey in color, has a crisp firm texture, and a full-bodied flavor with a hint of almond nuttiness on the palate. Similar to the highest quality Osetra, we find the flavor and quality of this import to be exceptional.

What started in Belgium as a fish feed production company in the 1980s, Royal Belgium Caviar has since evolved and is now considered one of Europe’s most acclaimed producers of caviars. In the early nineties, biologist Dr. Willy Verdonck was engaged in the breeding of sturgeon caviar, which yielded the first results in 2002. Through years of intensive research, Dr. Verdonck managed to completely control the breeding cycle of some sturgeon species (and he is now considered an international authority on caviar production).

Royal Belgian Osetra Caviar is true “Osetra” caviar produced by the eggs of Russian sturgeon. This caviar boasts medium-sized pearls with striking colors and pronounced, pleasing “nuttiness” in flavor. It’s slightly earthy flavor, malossol cure (lightly salted), combined with a pleasant texture makes Royal Belgian Osetra a top product to be instantly appreciated by every caviar aficionado.
