About Iranian Sturgeon Caviar

Conceived in the land before time, some 250-millions-years ago, when the earth itself was a bright and exuberant child, still morphing and pulsating with each passing day, and when dinosaurs reigned supreme over the earth. The prehistoric sturgeon was born, nestled in the heart of the nutrient filled waters of the Caspian sea, and there it remains to this day.

The sturgeon, which forms part of 27 Acipenseriformes species, is the official king of the Caspian sea. The Huso Huso (Beluga sturgeon) and its other caviar producing cousins, are at their best when allowed to floric in and absorb the myriad nutrients found in these most precious of waters.

With a history so rich in fables and mythology, the sturgeon and its jewel like roe have been the favored delicacy of royalty and nobleman, from the ancient kingdoms of Persia and Greece, to the absolute monarchs of Russia and France, during the days of the Bourbon Dynasty.

Mythical Beginnings

sturgeon caviar

As with all rare gems, the origins of Caspian caviar, as a gastronomic mother of pearl, are steeped in legend, with some saying it was Alexander the Great who first saw the benefits of this prehistoric appetizer and others that it was the Ancient Persians, who found, by way of pure accident, that the sturgeons roe was abundant in health benefits, the perfect food for those equally feared and respected warriors of the Orient.

Today, the breeding, production and selling of sturgeon caviar is a complex and nuanced affair, that must be orchestrated under the stringent rules of CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. However, it is a sad fact that much of the caviar consumed is either bred in far flung destinations, with the sturgeon removed from its natural habitat, or are hybridized versions, which lack the distinct qualities and health benefits found in true Caspian caviar.
