Kaluga Caviar

What is kaluga caviar?

Kaluga caviar is a type of caviar that comes from one of the largest freshwater fish, Kaluga Sturgeon (aka River Beluga). It is characterized by medium to large-sized firm pearls with buttery structure and subtle saltiness. This is a special delicacy that is often compared to Beluga caviar for its unique taste and sustainability.

Kaluga Sturgeon is a gigantic fish that grows up to 5 meters and 1000 kilograms. While in freshwater, it usually eats salmon and other fish and provides up to 20 kilograms of beads. Contrary to the Beluga sturgeon, it is not an endangered species; hence, caviar kaluga is usually considered a more ethical alternative.

What Does It Taste Like?

The taste of kaluga caviar is unique as it is characterized by large pearl size with a buttery flavor and smooth texture. There are many different types of caviar and roe, but good caviar is always considered a delicacy because of the unique flavor and texture. It usually depends on personal preferences, but premium-quality caviar generally appeals to everyone.

Another aspect that you should keep in mind is whether you are going to eat caviar kaluga with or without accompaniments. If you are one of those individuals who prefer to appreciate the original taste of this delicacy, you may prefer to enjoy it without any accompaniments on the mother-of-pearl spoon as metal can compromise the taste.

However, if you prefer to prepare the dish with caviar and serve it to your loved ones, you can find a lot of recipes on our website. Please keep in mind that it is always preferable to eat it with delicate accompaniments that do not overpower the taste of caviar. For instance, such options can be pancakes (Russian blinis), toast points, chips, and crackers.

What determines the quality of caviar?

Kaluga caviar is a high-quality product, and this characteristic is derived from multiple different factors.

• How is it harvested: Caviar harvesting is a manual process, and the experience of the employees is a crucial factor. The delicacy with which it is harvested can be directly reflected in the quality of the product.
• Farmed vs. Wild Harvesting Methods: Whether caviar is harvested from farms or the natural environment plays a significant role. As some of the species of sturgeon are endangered, natural harvesting methods when sturgeon is about to lay eggs in the river are prohibited in order to replenish the numbers of these endangered species. Moreover, it is noteworthy that a controlled environment is more convenient for maintaining a mild flavor and consistent quality, as well as avoiding contamination from polluted waters.
• Storing and transportation methods: As it is a delicate product, it is crucial to store it in the fridge at -2°C to 0°C and to transport it using temperature-controlled logistics.

What Health Benefits Does It Provide?

Kaluga caviar offers numerous health benefits, as it is a rich source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, Choline, and various vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Zinc, Magnesium, Iron, and Selenium. Many food products provide health benefits, but there is no comparison with caviar kaluga, as it can be considered a nutrient-rich superfood.

Eating most types of roe in moderation is considered safe during pregnancy. However, for pregnant women, it is always preferable to eat pasteurized caviar as non-pasteurized may contain Listeria bacteria that is harmless for healthy adults but can be dangerous for pregnant women.
