Royal Beluga Caviar is considered one of the most luxurious and sought-after types of caviar in the world. Our genuine 000 grade caviar comes from the Huso Huso (Beluga) sturgeon, which can live for decades and grow to impressive sizes. Huso Huso sturgeon undergoes a lengthy maturation cycle, taking up to 25 years to reach full maturity hence their rarity. These sturgeons are one of the largest freshwater fish and can grow up to 25 metres in length, weighing up to 2000 lbs, and can live up to 100 years.

Origin: 

Our Royal Beluga Caviar is derived from the roe (eggs) of the beluga sturgeon (called Huso Huso), a large fish species (Acipenser Huso Huso) primarily farmed in China

Egg Size

The Royal Beluga Sturgeon Caviar roe is one of the largest and softest of all the caviar varieties, measuring between 3mm and 3.3mm in diameter. The larger size not only contributes to the caviar's visual appeal but also offers a unique and luxurious tactile experience when enjoyed.

Despite their generous dimensions, the eggs maintain a delicate nature due to their thin shell. This thinness allows the eggs to release their flavours effortlessly on the palate, creating a sensory journey that captivates the taste buds. 

Appearance & Colour

The 000 grade caviar's eggs, renowned for their exquisite size and texture, exhibit a captivating spectrum of colours. Ranging from a delicate light grey to shades of grey that deepen to nearly black, the visual appeal of these eggs is as enchanting as it is sophisticated.

The light grey eggs, in their pristine hue, evoke a sense of elegance. Their lustrous sheen dances under the light and as it deepens into the various shades of grey, the caviar takes on a more intense and enigmatic character. These colours are not merely ornamental, they reflect the maturity of the sturgeon.

Flavour/ Taste

The flavour profile of Royal Beluga Caviar is characterised by its soft, buttery richness that envelops the senses in a luxurious embrace. The moment the delicate eggs touch the tongue, they release a symphony of flavours that evoke a sense of opulence and refinement.

The taste unfolds gradually and it's perfectly balanced, offering a robust and briny hit rounded out by a soft, buttery mouthfeel. The finish is long and lasting and the aftertaste is nutty and subtle. The flavour sensations are complex and intense.

Texture

The texture of Beluga Sturgeon Caviar further adds to its allure. It boasts a creamy and smooth consistency that caresses the palate with every delicate bite. The eggs' tender pop against the tongue is a tactile experience that amplifies the sensation of indulgence. Also, it's characterised by the ease with which its individual eggs can be separated from one another. 

How to eat caviar?

Royal Beluga is so delicious it needs little else to be appreciated. Purists place a teaspoon of Huso Huso Caviar on the back of the hand to taste, as it is a neutral surface. Using natural materials is best for serving caviar as it will not distort the flavour of the eggs. Mother of Pearl is a great canvas for caviar or you can pick up one of our glass caviar serving sets if serving for a group of people.  

Caviar recipes

While you can keep it simple and enjoy your Royal Beluga Caviar on its own, it’s also great for canapés. Pair with simple ingredients that don't overpower like potatoes or eggs. Instead, warm up some blinis and add a dollop of crème fraiche before placing a spoonful of caviar on top for a classic and elegant canapé option. It will also go very well with raw fish or tartare. Serve with a glass of bubbly champagne or ice-cold vodka.
