Ossetra Caviar - 1.75 oz
Ossetra caviar, also known as Osetra, is a premium variety harvested from the Ossetra sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), often farmed sustainably in regions like the Caspian Sea area or controlled aquaculture environments to ensure quality and environmental responsibility.
This type of caviar is celebrated for its medium to large-sized pearls, which range in color from deep amber and golden hues to dark brown or olive green, offering a firm yet silky texture that pops delicately on the palate.
The flavor profile is distinctly nutty and buttery, with subtle briny notes that evoke the sea, often described as clean, crisp, and slightly sweet without overpowering salinity—making it a favorite among connoisseurs for its balanced complexity. It’s typically prepared using the traditional “malossol” method, meaning lightly salted to preserve its natural taste.
In a 1.75 oz (about 50 grams) jar, this portion is ideal for intimate tastings, serving 1-2 people as an appetizer or garnish. It’s commonly enjoyed chilled on blinis, with crème fraîche, or straight from a mother-of-pearl spoon to avoid metallic flavors interfering with its purity.
