Osietra-Kaviar stammt vom Russischen Stör (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) und gilt als Maßstab für Premium-Kaviar. Mit mittlerer bis großer Körnung und einer Farbpalette von Goldbraun bis Tiefdunkel besitzt jede Perle einen unverwechselbaren Charakter, der den Standard für andere Kaviarsorten – sowohl in der Gastronomie als auch bei privaten Sammlern – geprägt hat. Osietra ist kein Kaviar für Einsteiger. Er ist für diejenigen, die wissen, was sie wollen und keine Kompromisse eingehen.
Osietra Kaviar-Guide
Kontext. Kein Marketing.
The flavour is rich, complex, and layered.
Buttery and nutty notes — reminiscent of walnut and hazelnut — blend with a clean, mineral saltiness and a long, elegant finish.
No single tone dominates. Instead, Osietra reveals itself gradually, developing on the palate long after the first bite.
In short:
A caviar that does not ask to be liked — it commands attention.
Both varieties are premium — but they speak to different preferences.
Osietra: assertive, mineral-driven, complex, long finish
Baerii: creamy, balanced, approachable, versatile
Those who seek depth, intensity, and the full expression of caviar typically reach for Osietra. It is the preferred choice at Michelin-starred tables and among collectors building a serious caviar palett.
Osietra Caviar is ideal for:
- Experienced caviar enthusiasts seeking complexity and depth
- Fine dining chefs and sommeliers
- Hosts of milestone occasions — anniversaries, corporate dinners
- Collectors and connoisseurs with a trained palate
A caviar for those who already know what they want — and demand the best.
Osietra is a year-round choice for those who do not compromise:
- Winter: served pure, the full flavour profile unfolds without distraction
- Summer: lightly chilled as an aperitif or a course of its own
- Occasions: milestone celebrations, corporate dinners, fine dining at home
Due to its pronounced character, Osietra is best experienced as the centrepiece — not the garnish. Express delivery within Europe ensures it arrives in perfect condition.
A note on availability:
Due to extremely high demand, we announce new batches to our VIP customers in advance — and they are almost always sold out immediately. If you want to be among the first to know, we recommend contacting us direcly
For the full tasting experience:
- well chilled (2–4 °C / 36–39 °F)
- served pure — ideally without accompaniments on the first tasting
- never with metal — always use a mother-of-pearl spoon
- open only shortly before serving
Osietra rewards simplicity. Its complex profile speaks loudest when not competing with other flavours. Accompaniments such as blinis or crème fraîche are reserved for the second tasting.
