Kaluga

Kaluga (lat. Huso dauricus) is a freshwater fish of the beluga genus belonging to the sturgeon family.

The big, shiny eggs, which can be up to 4 mm in diameter, are usually dark greyish-green in color, but other colors can appear depending on the age of fish.

The Kaluga is a long-living fish, spawning only when it reaches 16-17 years of age. It won't be able to spawn again until 5 years later. This factor accounts for why caviar of this fish is a rare and costly product.

An adult fish averages 3 metres in length and weighs about 100 kg. A rare specimen was once caught, though, reaching the age of 55, weighing about a tonne and measuring up to 5 metres in length.

The exquisite, soft taste and melting texture of kaluga caviar is much like that of beluga caviar. Perfect for special festivities or as a memorable gift. Not only is kaluga caviar the largest among sturgeon lovers, it is also believed among delicacy lovers to have the softest taste.
