Product Details

Imperial caviar is a refined hybrid selection, produced from the crossing of Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii) and Kaluga (Huso dauricus), two prized species from the Amur River basin. This unique combination brings together the defining characteristics of both, resulting in a caviar that is balanced, complex, and consistently elegant.

We take every precaution to ensure your caviar arrives in optimal condition. All orders are shipped using overnight delivery with temperature-controlled packaging, preserving freshness from our selection to your door.

Due to the perishable nature of our products, we are unable to accept returns once an order has been shipped.

If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact us within 24 hours of delivery, including photos of the issue. Our team will review your request and work promptly to provide a suitable resolution.

Imperial caviar offers a layered flavour profile — more complex than lighter varieties, yet more approachable than the most intense selections.

To fully appreciate its quality, Imperial caviar is best served simply:

– On a mother-of-pearl spoon
– With blini and crème fraîche
– Paired with Champagne or a crisp white wine

Minimal accompaniment allows the natural flavour and texture to shine.

Positioned between Amur and Kaluga caviar, Imperial delivers a refined middle ground:

– More depth and richness than Amur
– More accessible and subtle than Kaluga
– A well-rounded option for both new and experienced caviar enthusiasts

This balance makes it an ideal choice for those seeking premium quality without stepping into the highest tier of intensity.

As a hybrid caviar, Imperial benefits from the strengths of both parent species:

– Kaluga influence – larger pearls and buttery richness
– Amur influence – clean, earthy character and balance

The result is a distinctive caviar with its own identity — both in flavour and appearance.
