Russian Osetra

A classic Osetra with a nutty flavor and a lingering finish.

Russian Osetra comes from the Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), the species behind traditional Osetra caviar. Its fine pearls range from dark olive to golden brown, with a nutty flavor and a gentle aftertaste that stays on the palate. Balanced and versatile, it suits both a first caviar tasting and a seasoned palate.

What's the difference between Russian Osetra and Imperial Osetra?
