Imperial Oscietra caviar (also known as Osetra, Ossetrova, Asetra and Osietra caviar) is sourced from the Russian sturgeon (Acipenser Guelden Staediti), a species that can grow to over 60 kg (132 lbs) and live up to 50 years on average. These fish take up to 10 years to reach egg maturity, producing the highly desired sturgeon caviar. Ours is sourced sustainably from controlled farms in Poland, where expert cultivation ensures the highest quality and consistency in each batch.
The eggs of Imperial Oscietra caviar are medium-sized, ranging from 2.9mm to 3mm in diameter. With a distinct texture, they are firm (compared to the delicate Beluga caviar), yet burst with a satisfying pop when gently pressed between the tongue and palate. They display a stunning range of colours, ranging from golden hues to deep dark brown. The flavour is rich, complex and robust, delivering a classic, savoury profile with a satisfying depth. The eggs are prized for their consistency, with each one easily separating from the other, offering a luxurious and smooth texture.
