Osietra Caviar

What is osietra caviar?

Osietra caviar is a premium-quality caviar that comes from the Russian Sturgeon (aka Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii). It is characterized by a golden to dark brown color and a rich, nutty, buttery flavor. In terms of texture, this delicacy is renowned for its satisfying “pop” and slightly firm consistency.

Although Beluga caviar is often regarded as the finest caviar, it is sometimes compared to caviar osietra, as it is also considered a classic, highest-grade delicacy. The age of the fish determines the grade of this unique caviar. The lighter eggs usually indicate that the fish is old and hence make the caviar more valuable.

What Does It Taste Like?

The taste of osietra caviar is unique as it is characterized by a naturally salty, sea-like taste and nutty, buttery flavor. 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 osietra 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?

Osietra caviar is a high-quality product, and its quality is derived from multiple 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 quite delicate product, it is crucial to store it in the fridge, at  -2°C to 0°C, and to transport using temperature-controlled logistics.

What Health Benefits Does It Provide?

Osietra 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 osietra, 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.
