CЯU Beluga Hybrid Caviar

Beluga Hybrid

Historically the most prized wild sturgeon species, Beluga is loved for its large, gray to black eggs that always exude a decadent, briny creaminess. There's a reason it's known to be the most expensive and prized original Caspian species for hundreds of years.

To protect and replenish the endangered wild Beluga populations, it is illegal to import to the US unless it's a hybrid species. Our sustainable Beluga hybrid is either crossed with the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii), the Sevruga (Acipenser stellatus), or the Sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus). All flaunt a smooth, buttery flavor and similar grayish to amber/black color but by nature have a slightly smaller and softer egg.
