What’s the difference between farmed caviar and wild caviar?
Well, for one, caviar from farm raised sturgeon is sustainable. That means that the natural resources are not depleted to produce the caviar. That’s quite an important aspect, considering that all 27 species of sturgeon are on the endangered species list. But when it comes to comparing the quality, the caviar we produce from our farmed sturgeon actually rivals that of the wild caviar. Because the sturgeon swim in clean artesian well-water and are fed an all natural feed, the final product – the caviar, in this case – has a fresh and clean, buttery finish. Don’t get us wrong, we love the imported caviar, as well, especially the Iranian Asetra, but when it comes to consistency and quality, we really prefer our own California Estate Osetra. It’s by far the freshest caviar on the market. (You can read more about the farming and the benefits of farmed caviar under the “Sustainable Farming” tab).
