Beluga caviar is the most famous and most coveted caviar in the world, produced exclusively by the Huso Huso sturgeon — one of the largest fish on earth. Requiring over a decade to reach full maturity, the Huso Huso yields exceptionally large (3.2-3.6mm), stunning steel-grey pearls in very limited quantities, which is why Beluga remains the rarest sturgeon caviar available. In the tin, Beluga is defined by elegance over complexity — a deep, buttery sweetness and a clean sea salt finish. Where Osetra rewards with depth and character, Beluga envelops. The perfect caviar for a landmark occasion, a once-in-a-season indulgence, or the ultimate gift. Is Beluga caviar legal in Canada? Yes. Our Beluga is sustainably farmed from Acipenser Huso Huso in Italy. Wild Beluga from the Caspian Sea has been prohibited in Canada and the United States since 2005 under CITES conservation regulations — farmed Beluga is the legal and sustainable path to the same extraordinary experience. How does Beluga compare to Osetra? Beluga is milder, butterier, and more enveloping — often described as the purest caviar experience. Osetra is nuttier and more complex with a longer finish. They're different expressions rather than one being better. Beluga suits those who want elegance and subtlety; Osetra suits those who want depth and character. Why is Beluga caviar so expensive? The Huso Huso sturgeon takes up to 20 years to reach maturity — longer than any other farmed caviar species. The result is one of the rarest and most limited caviars in the world, and the price reflects that.
