Premium Kaluga Fish Black Caviar – "River Beluga" Sturgeon Roe 125g

Kaluga Sturgeon Black Caviar Malossol, 125 g (4.41 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 125-gram tin is a convenient size for special occasions, intimate gatherings, caviar tastings, or an elegant gift. The glossy pearls range from dark steel gray to deep brown and may show subtle olive or amber tones.

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