Ossetra Raised in water from the Dans River on a farm in Northern Israel. This river water is the secret ingredient that produces a superb caviar with intense Ossetra flavors. Milder than Beluga with medium-sized, firm, and juicy beads, toasty brown color, and a bold, clean, nutty, buttery taste.

Imperial Ossetra This is our top of the line Ossetra with a distinctive flavor, milder than Beluga with medium-sized, firm, and juicy beads, light brown color, and a bold, clean, nutty, buttery taste. Origins are Israel, USA, and Uruguay.

Kaluga Hybrid (Huso Dauricus Shrencki) Sometimes referred to as “River Beluga hybrid”. Large, light-brown to rich-brown beads with a velvety texture, and sweet notes of hazelnut and walnut. Indigenous to the Amur River, sustainably farmed in China in lakes south of the Shanghai Mountains.
