Taste and texture
Large, soft pearls that range from pale silver to dark grey. The flavour is rich and buttery with a long, clean finish and very little salt-forward bite. Compare all five in our caviar grades and types guide.
How chefs use it
Serve it simply: on a mother-of-pearl spoon, on warm blinis with crème fraîche, or as the finishing touch on a tasting-menu course.
Questions
Is Royal Beluga wild or farmed?
Farmed. Wild beluga caviar cannot be legally traded in most markets, and every tin we sell comes from farmed sturgeon with CITES documentation.
How does beluga compare with Kaluga?
Both come from the genus Huso and give large pearls. Beluga is usually softer and lighter in colour; Kaluga pearls are firmer with a mellow, buttery flavour.
