This selection is an evocative and otherworldly experience, with a flavor combination that captures essences of both premiere beluga and the youth of Sevruga. The marriage of youth and maturity is what so often makes for a taste that is truly exceptional.

Decidedly fresh, like a burst of air felt when walking along a seaside promenade, pierced intimately with distinct Autumnal sensations, like a seasonal nut roast to warm the soul of a chilly day, our Privé Osetra is a thing of true beauty, with a firm yet seductively soft texture and potent yet harmonious aroma.

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.

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.

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)

About Buying Osetra Caviar

Delightfully moreish, discover a tantalisingly gorgeous blend of spirited buttery tones matched with a distinct nutty flavor.

Rich in character and the pinnacle of earthly delights, Osetra has been the favoured delicacy of the Imperial families of Russia and Iran throughout the centuries. It is a vision of aesthetic charm, sweeping from deep Autumnal brown to a lustrous light golden hue, with a medium to large grain that is firm and pearl like in appearance, setting just the right tone for such a lavish treat.

Claiming primacy over the mythical family of sturgeon caviars, Osetra is defined by a sensual and silky feel, as it pirouettes across the tongue, you will drift into a paradise of scintillating sensations, made ever joyous by its heavenly aroma of bold sea vibes. Slightly stronger than the Beluga due to the Osetra sturgeon swimming in deeper waters.

Unlike aqua-farmed Osetra, which dramatically disturbs the taste and texture of caviar, our Iranian Osetra, produced from sturgeons bred in their native environment, is able to simultaneously give pleasure to lovers of subtlety and those with a passion for spirited flavors.

For time immemorial, the Caspian Sea, with its perfect climate and diverse bioculture, has provided sturgeon species with a wealth of nutrients that give it the strength and vitality to produce the perfect caviar.

The Osetra sturgeon, as well as its other caviar producing cousins, have been a part of the Caspian sea for millions upon millions of years.

Grading Osetra

Similar to Beluga, grading for Osetra is comprised of 8 components - uniformity, size, color, maturity, separation, fragrance, lucidity and firmness.

The eggs from the Osetra sturgeon differ in hue from lightly golden to deep brown. The rarest of Osetra is golden Osetra, known as "Royal Caviar".

Types of Iranian Osetra Caviar

Osetra types differ slightly. Iranian osetra remains the most prestigious, embodying the perfect marriage of taste and aesthetic quality. However, Osetra is a broadly bred caviar, with its second biggest breeder being Russia, who traditionally stand shoulder-to-shoulder in quality with Iranian Osetra, yet today, breeding is done by a variety of other countries, using aquafarms.

Iranian Osetra

Traditionally uses the Malassol Method of treatment, limiting salt to a minute degree.

Scientifically regarded as producing the best variant of Osetra.

Bred on the shorelines of Iran in the Caspian sea.

Defined by a rich buttery taste and nutty overtones, with a creamy texture.

Has an impeccably clean finish.

Offers a distinct tenderness which makes it prized by connoisseurs.

Russian Osetra

Traditionally uses the Malossol Method when bred on the Russian shores of the Caspian Sea, but in aqua farms often uses more salt for preservation purposes.

Often more eclectic in colours, depending on where it is bred, such as Russian Osetra Karat Caviar Black, which is bred in Israel.

The word Russian can be used even when the Osetra sturgeon is not bred in the Caspian Sea.

Russian Osetra can sometimes be subject to interbreeding with other sturgeon species.

It’s unable to determine the nutrient value, as aqua farms can have differing effects on the sturgeon.

Can range from tender to hard.

Osetra Caviar Price

What Price for Luxury?

Like with its elder brother Beluga (Osetra being second in price only to Beluga) it’s difficult to discuss buying, and much better to talk about an investment in a luxurious experience. Because with us, you will be getting the most luxurious experience and the greatest quality on offer.

Prices are determined through the size of the roe and colours, which all form part of the complex grading process, previously discussed.

Myriad other components that go into making Iranian caviar exceptional are also taken into consideration.

With our exceptionally ethical and sustainable methods of breeding, the price is inconsequential to the vast amount of value and rich quality that is inside each fresh box, which start at 20g and go up to 500g.
