How does our caviar arrive?
Features
Its taste is considered delicate and elegant, yet full-bodied, rich and expressive. The 6-star Oscietra comes from our oldest female sturgeons, which are bred for up to 15 years. It contains the largest caviar pearls of all our Oscietra varieties. The pearls have a diameter of over 3 mm and show colours between grey, brown and olive green with golden reflections. In this size range, you will find exceptionally luminous shades, which are particularly appreciated by connoisseurs. It is an absolute highlight of our collection.
Chefs particularly like to use this caviar because its exceptional quality, the large, shiny grains and the complex, elegant flavour profile delight even the most demanding palates and give dishes an incomparable sophistication and luxury.
Here, too, after the caviar has been removed, it is refined using the traditional "Malossol" method with only a small amount of salt to optimally preserve its pure taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Oscietra caviar?
Oscietra caviar – also spelled as Ossetra or Osetra – comes from the Russian Sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), a noble sturgeon species originally native to the Caspian, Black, and Azov Seas. This caviar is one of the three classic "royal classes" of caviar alongside Beluga and Sevruga and has been valued for its particularly complex flavor for centuries.
The Russian sturgeon is a medium-sized sturgeon that takes 10 to 12 years to first yield roe of true quality – this long maturation period ensures depth of flavor and a certain "luxury factor."
The eggs are medium to large, depending on the age of the fish, and shimmer in various shades from dark golden brown to hazelnut to anthracite grey. Generally: the lighter the color, the older and usually higher quality the caviar.
What makes it special is its characteristic taste:
Oscietra caviar is nutty, buttery, slightly iodic, with a delicate oceanic note. It tastes balanced and elegant, but with noticeable depth – ideal for connoisseurs, but also a favorite for anyone looking for the "true caviar taste" without immediately reaching for expensive Beluga.
In short:
Oscietra is the connoisseur's caviar – not the loudest, but perhaps the most stylish.
Why is Oscietra caviar more expensive than Siberian sturgeon caviar?
Oscietra caviar comes from the Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), which takes significantly longer to mature than the Siberian sturgeon (Baerii). While Baerii first produces roe after around 6–8 years, an Oscietra sturgeon takes 11 to 15 years – meaning more care, longer rearing, and higher effort.
Oscietra is more expensive because it is rarer, more complex to produce, and more intricate in taste. It is caviar for connoisseurs – or for special occasions where you want more than just "good."
Is Oscietra better than Beluga or Baerii?
Not better – just different. Oscietra is the "gourmet caviar": richer than Baerii, but subtler than Beluga. Many connoisseurs say: If you truly understand what caviar can be, you eat Oscietra.
Which wine or champagne pairs well with Oscietra caviar?
A dry Champagne, Blanc de Blancs or an elegant white wine such as Chablis or Riesling are ideal accompaniments. Important: not too sweet, not too dominant – the caviar remains the star.
Is caviar really that healthy?
Caviar is a highly concentrated source of vitamins and minerals.
Rich in protein, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA).
It contains particularly high amounts of vitamin B12, D, phosphorus, and selenium, and is a natural source of iron and zinc.
Caviar offers a balanced composition of fatty acids – the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is 1:1.
Can you freeze caviar?
No – please don’t. Caviar is a fresh luxury product. Freezing changes the texture and impairs the taste. It's better to store it chilled and enjoy it fresh.
