Signature Beluga Caviar

Description

Beluga Caviar – Huso huso

Buy Beluga Caviar produced from the roe of the Beluga sturgeon (Huso huso), prized for its exceptionally large pearls, delicate texture and rich, creamy flavour.

Beluga produces some of the largest pearls of any sturgeon caviar. They typically range in colour from pale silver-grey through to darker charcoal. The pearls have a particularly delicate, soft and silky texture. As a result, they release their flavour gently on the palate.

How Does Beluga Caviar Taste?

Our Beluga Caviar has a rich, buttery and creamy flavour, balanced by delicate salinity and subtle marine notes. Its character is refined rather than aggressively salty, with a smooth, lingering finish.

In addition, the combination of large pearls, delicate texture and elegant flavour makes Beluga exceptional to enjoy on its own. However, its richness also works beautifully with simple accompaniments.

Sustainably Farmed at Qiandao Lake, China

Our specialist producer farms Beluga sturgeon at Qiandao Lake (Thousand Island Lake) in Zhejiang Province, China, an internationally renowned centre for sturgeon aquaculture.

The farm raises pure Beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) using sustainable aquaculture methods. Caviar specialists then carefully select the roe for the quality, size, texture and flavour of its pearls.

After packing, the producer transports the caviar under strict temperature-controlled conditions. We then store each batch at approximately 2°C to protect its quality and freshness.

Before dispatch, we hand pack and check every order. Finally, we send your caviar chilled in our double-insulated thermal packaging with ice packs, helping to maintain the cold chain until it reaches you.

How to Serve Beluga Caviar

For the purest experience, serve Beluga Caviar well chilled. Enjoy it directly from the tin using a mother-of-pearl spoon.

Alternatively, serve it with simple accompaniments such as blinis, crème fraîche, eggs or warm buttered potatoes. Keep the accompaniments relatively simple so the delicate flavour of the Beluga remains the focus.

For drinks, Beluga pairs particularly well with Champagne or well-chilled vodka.
