Ossetra Caviar

Ossetra caviar has long been hailed as one of the most coveted types of caviar since it was originally found in the Caspian Sea. Ossetra sturgeon fishlings (otherwise known as the Acipenser Guldenstadtii species) have since been relocated to aquaculture farms where they’re now sustainably raised and farmed.

These delightfully firm ossetra roes are best known for their delicious nutty flavor and dark color—ranging from black to deep brown with flecks of gold and even white, and firm texture. The pleasing pop and rich, bold sea flavors of ossetra hold up beautifully to a variety of foods, including heavy creams (sour cream), sauces, blinis, creme fraiche, salads, and meat dishes. This culinary versatility gives it universal appeal and makes it one of the most popular caviars in the world today alongside Beluga and Sevruga caviar.

Store your precious roe at the proper temperature (28 to 34 degrees) for the best taste. Hard to imagine but if you're not eating it right away, make sure to place your caviar tin in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
