Beluga Caviar

Q: What makes Beluga caviar different from other caviar?

Beluga caviar comes from Huso huso, the largest sturgeon species. Its pearls are famously large, often slate-grey in colour, with a delicate, creamy flavour that is softer and more subtle than bolder species like Sevruga or Kaluga.

Beluga Caviar: Grades, Sizes & Prices

This collection is the full Imperia range that runs from a 30g introduction tin to a 250g centrepiece.

Pearls grade from 0 through 000, paling and growing larger as the grade rises. Beluga's pearls outsize Ossetra and Kaluga by a clear margin, paler in tone and softer on the pop.

Where Our Beluga Caviar Comes From

Beluga is Huso huso, native to the Caspian Sea and the longest-lived sturgeon in trade. The species matures slowly: eighteen to twenty-five years before a single tin can be harvested.

Every gram in this collection comes from CITES-traceable European aquaculture, handgraded the day of harvest and malossol-cured within hours.

Huso huso is listed Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. No wild Caspian Beluga reaches a legal European table today.

Imperia sources only from EUlicensed farms with full CITES paperwork, and the same tins have been served at Michelin-starred kitchens from Paris to Vienna.

How to Serve Beluga Caviar

Serve cold from the tin on a bed of crushed ice, with a mother-of-pearl spoon. Warm buckwheat blini, crème fraîche, and a dry Champagne handle the brine cleanly. For a smaller pour, a chilled wheat vodka holds the finish.

Beluga Caviar FAQs

Learn what makes Beluga caviar distinct, how Huso huso is sourced in Europe, and how to choose, serve, and store this rare species-grade collection.

Why do caviar pearls vary in size and color?

Pearl size and color depend on the species, the maturity of the fish, and the particular harvest. Some caviar appears darker and more dramatic, while others range from golden brown to lighter olive tones. These visual differences are part of what makes each variety distinct.

Which caviar has a more buttery flavor?

Kaluga is usually the more buttery of the two. Its pearls are smooth and luxurious, with a rich finish that feels especially approachable for first-time buyers and longtime caviar lovers alike.

What is the difference between Ossetra and Kaluga caviar?

Ossetra and Kaluga are often compared because both are highly prized, but they offer different tasting experiences. Ossetra is known for its nuanced flavor, with nutty, briny, and sometimes lightly creamy notes. Kaluga tends to be silkier and richer, with a fuller, more buttery finish. If you prefer something layered and elegant, Ossetra is often the favorite. If you want a rounder, more indulgent profile, Kaluga is a strong choice.
