Premium Kaluga Fish Black Caviar – "River Beluga" Sturgeon Roe 500g

Kaluga Sturgeon Black Caviar Malossol, 500 g (17.6 oz)

Kaluga caviar is produced from the Kaluga sturgeon (Huso dauricus), a large freshwater sturgeon native to the Amur River basin. Sometimes referred to as "River Beluga," Kaluga roe is known for its large pearls, firm texture, and rich, buttery flavor.

This 500-gram tin offers a generous format for holiday celebrations, special occasions, large gatherings, or extended caviar service. The glossy pearls range from dark steel gray to deep brown and may show subtle olive or amber tones.

The caviar has a firm texture with a characteristic pop, followed by a smooth, buttery flavor with nutty undertones and gentle brininess. Prepared in the traditional Malossol, or "little salt," style, it is lightly cured to preserve the natural character of the roe.
