Sustainability

No Forced Relocation

Our sturgeon and thus your caviar is farmed in the Caspian Sea – the evolutionary origin of the sturgeon. Our sturgeons exist in harmony with mother nature, in the same place they were conceived some 250 million years ago.

None of our sturgeon, unlike non-Caspian Sea producers, have been relocated from their natural environment and transported to far away countries or farms. Thus an excellent ecosystem that ensures quality and sustainability is guaranteed.

The only true caviar comes from the Caspian Sea.

Our caviar adheres to genuine sustainability not marketing buzz words.

Ecology

Farmed in its Natural Origin

As our sturgeons are farmed in their native, prehistoric habitat, you will be rewarded with the same sumptuous taste and divine texture that was enjoyed by the likes of Alexander the Great and Tsar Nicholas II.

We have  not  introduced any exotic sturgeon species, genotypes or various hybrids, which cause a dramatic loss of genetic integrity, into our farms.

Our sturgeon feed on crustaceans, small mollusks and small worms.

We were the first to use ultrasound scanners for sexing our sturgeon, which is now a technique that is used by breeders throughout the world. It allows us to separate our sturgeon and optimize our practices along the way.

Traceability & Transparency

Our CITES Code

Our caviar has been approved by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora).

This ensures and legally guarantees traceability. Every tin of your caviar is traced to the fish that went inside it.

Our registration number with CITES is 530. Please see here for more information. Please note that if the caviar you buy does not have an Export CITES, the caviar is not coming from the farm, and instead is being sold via an intermediary.

In 2001, Iran was exempted from CITES international ban because it has a functioning management system for sturgeon (CITES Approval for Iranian Caviar in 2001), (CITES Commendation for Iran’s Conservation Efforts in 2001) and was commended again in 2003 for imposing the ban upon itself to help to replenish the depleted stocks. (CITES on Iranian Caviar Quotas in 2003)

Iran was commended several times by the UN for their efforts in protecting the sturgeon in 2003 (UN Report on Caspian States Conservation Efforts in 2003) and again in 2006 (UN-Backed Body on Caviar Export Ban in 2006)

The success of these conservation efforts are correlated with Iran being the largest exporter of caviar in the world between 1998 and 2006 (European Commission on Caviar Trade)

Almas Caviar

For centuries, Caspian Almas caviar was reserved for the palates of Shahs, Tsars, and Sultans – the absolute rulers who held the divine right to savour these angelic pearls. The rarity of Almas caviar stems from its source: the Albino Beluga sturgeon, which must reach the venerable age of 100 years before its eggs can finally be harvested. The result is a caviar of breathtaking beauty, with a brilliant, almost ethereal white hue that sparkles like diamonds…

But it’s the taste that truly sets Almas apart. Uniquely tender and nuanced, this caviar boasts the rich buttery notes of fresh Beluga, enhanced by an aroma that is entirely its own. One bite is all it takes to transport you to a realm of pure bliss, where the cares of the world melt away, and you’re enveloped in a dreamlike state of gastronomic ecstasy. Almas caviar is more than just a delicacy – it’s a transcendent experience, a divine indulgence that elevates the very concept of luxury to new heights.
