This exceptional Oscietra is a very firm favourite for many of our customers, and regularly stuns caviar connoisseurs who try it for the first time. We have carried out extensive tastings and are convinced that there is not a better Oscietra on the market, and certainly not at this price. Well, perhaps one – our Royal Oscietra Caviar, which is the cream of this crop.
We introduced this caviar to our range in 2013 after it became an immediate hit with our tasting team. It quickly became our best selling caviar and still is.
Our Oscietra is sourced from a cold water, out door farm in northern Italy. The large egg size and colour make it very impressive to the eye. The firm eggs are about 2.8mm diameter with a colour varying from a rich golden brown to dark tobacco brown. This Oscietra has a mellow nutty flavour, that lingers long on the palate and longer in the mind, just as a really good caviar should. You can wake up in the middle of the night dreaming about this Oscietra!
Oscietra Caviar is one of the famous Caspian caviars and comes from the Oscietra (aka Russian) Sturgeon, which has the Latin name of Gueldenstaedtii. It is farmed in various European countries as well as else where in the world. However, it is amazing how the flavours vary from country to country and farm to farm, although it is the same type of sturgeon.

Storage:
Please note that all caviar products should be refrigerated upon receipt. Once opened, consume within 48 hours. Caviar can be stored in a domestic fridge from minus 2c to +4c (the colder and closer to 0c the better!) 4 weeks and more. When storing caviar in your fridge, it is important to store it at the back of the fridge on the bottom shelf where it is coolest and temperature does not fluctuate.
How best to enjoy your caviar?
1. Eat a little on a spoon to enjoy the taste in it’s purest form!
2. Add a little to a blini, with butter or sour cream and chives – makes a great canape.
3. Can be enjoyed on toasted dark rye bread with scrambled eggs.
4. Traditionally drinks to accompany caviar include chilled vodka or champagne.
