Description
Albino Sterlet
CAVSA1
Acispenser ruthenus
Romania
1 oz
The Sterlet is reminiscent of Sevruga in flavor with a similarly small egg size, bright opaque yellow in color, briny, creamy, soft in texture but still a subtle amount of 'pop.' Don't expect it to pop like Kaluga or Osetra!
Amber Kaluga Hybrid
CAVKL1
Huso dauricus x Acipenser schrenkii

1oz
Royal grade Kaluga hybrid caviar raised in Rural Asia. Incredibly elicate and buttery flavor and sweet briny finish.

Beluga Sevruga Hybrid
CAVBH1
Huso huso x Acipenser stellatus 
Bulgaria
1oz
This farmed, sustainable caviar features grains that are larger than true sevruga, but still smaller than true Beluga or Beluga / Siberian hybrids. What this caviar lacks in size it makes up for in incredible flavor and texture, with creamy and buttery notes that slowly develop into a lingering, briny, and almost peppery finish.
Bowfin
CAVRL1
Amia calva

1oz
Small, reddish black roe from a sp. more ancient than the sturgeon and virtually unchanged for millions of years. Intensely earthy, mild tang, with hints of spice. Also called "Choupique."

Ghost Pepper Bowfin
CAV013
Amia calva
USA
1oz
Wild American Bowfin caviar is infused with the ghost pepper, one of the hottest peppers in the world. Red-hot and spicy, but the level of spiciness is just right.

Imperial Amur Sturgeon
CAVKI1
Acispenser schrenckii

Very similar to Osetra, caviar from the Amur or Japanese sturgeon is little thought of but incredibly impressive. These eggs are large, glossy, and buttery with a firm and creamy texture.
