Kaluga Hybrid
Born from a cross between the mighty Kaluga (Huso dauricus), one of the world’s largest freshwater fish, and the Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii), this “River Beluga” is celebrated as a sustainable alternative to the legendary Beluga. It shares the commanding size and silky texture that have made sturgeon caviar a symbol of luxury for centuries.
Flavor Profile
Among the largest pearls in the world of caviar, at over 3mm, each firm, glistening bead bursts gently on the palate, revealing a clean, buttery richness and subtle creaminess. Mild and beautifully balanced, with a delicate brine that lingers without overpowering, it’s as opulent as it is unforgettable.
Why Kaluga Hybrid
Farm-raised with patience over many years, this hybrid yields pearls ranging from vibrant gold to rich amber. It’s a conscientious choice that delivers the grandeur of Beluga without compromise.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled on a mother-of-pearl spoon with warm blini, crème fraîche, and Champagne or ice-cold vodka. Minimal accompaniment lets the caviar’s natural character speak for itself.
The river’s giant, tamed for the midnight table.
