Black Sturgeon Osetra Caviar Malossol, 250 g (8.8 oz)

Osetra is one of the best-known varieties of traditional black caviar, valued for its firm texture and distinctive nutty, buttery flavor. This Black Sturgeon Osetra Caviar Malossol is made from Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) and presented in a generous 250-gram tin, making it well suited for festive meals, special occasions, and caviar tastings.

The roe features glossy pearls in shades ranging from pearlescent gray to deep charcoal, sometimes with subtle golden-brown or amber tones. The medium-to-large eggs have a firm texture and a characteristic pop when gently pressed.

Prepared using the traditional Malossol, or "little salt," method, the caviar is lightly cured to complement the natural flavor of the roe without making it overly salty. Its flavor is rich and savory, with nutty and buttery notes and a clean marine finish.
