Acipenser Huso/Schrenki

From the Amur River between China and Russia comes this exquisite caviar produced from the o?spring of Huso dauricus & Acipenser schrenkii sturgeon. Banned from export and harvest to protect wild stocks, the Schrenki Sturgeon was among many species restocked in the 1990s to be aquacultured for its meat, then soon after for its roe. Under the direction of Iranian Master Caviar Specialists, these ?sh are meticulously harvested using some of the most advanced aquaculture methods available today.

This large river sturgeon matures in 7-10 years and produces caviar which is light brown to light grey in color, has a crisp ?rm texture, and a full-bodied ?avor with a hint of almond nuttiness on the palate. Similar to the highest quality Osetra, we ?nd the ?avor and quality of this import to be exceptional.
