Premium Oscietra Caviar Taster Pot, 10g
Premium Oscietra caviar taster pot (10g) is produced from the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii), a species renowned for yielding elegant, high-quality roe. When fully grown, this sturgeon can reach over 60 kg (132 lbs) and is known for its long lifespan of up to five to six decades.
The roe develops slowly, with female sturgeon requiring approximately 6–8 years for the eggs to reach full maturity — a patient process that defines the depth and refinement of this caviar. Sourced from sustainably farmed sturgeon in Poland, this taster pot delivers exceptional quality while supporting responsible aquaculture.
