Limited Edition Amur Caviar

Amur Caviar comes from the Acipenser Schrenckii, native to the Amur River in Russia and China. It's nicknamed "Japanese Sturgeon" because the species is believed to travel to and from the Sea of Japan, even though the river itself sits in Russia and China rather than Japan.

Acipenser Schrenckii is one of the two parent species behind both hybrids, crossed with Baerii sturgeon for the Baerii Hybrid and with Kaluga sturgeon for the Kaluga Hybrid. This Amur product is the pure, unhybridized version, so it gives you the most concentrated expression of that lineage's earthy character before it's been softened or rounded out by crossbreeding.

It's earthy and intense, with a musky, briny finish that lingers, bolder and more assertive than the milder Kaluga Hybrid or the classic brininess of Ossetra. If you tend toward stronger, more traditional caviar flavors rather than a mellow introduction, this is the more intense end of OM's lineup.

It's produced in smaller batches than OM's core caviars, so availability can vary and isn't guaranteed once a batch sells out. If you find a size or format you like, it's worth ordering rather than waiting, since restocks depend on supply.

Given its bolder, earthier profile, it holds up well against simple, unfussy pairings, think a plain blini or toast point rather than heavier sauces that would compete with it. Serve chilled with a non-metal spoon, and check the FAQ page for general handling and storage guidance.
