Gold caviar – Kaluga Queen
Gold caviar is known and sought after at some of the world’s best restaurants, mainly due to its distinctive golden color and its mild yet complex flavor profile. The visual expression combined with a rounded and elegant taste makes this caviar suitable for both classic servings and modern presentations.
The caviar comes from a hybrid sturgeon created by crossing Huso dauricus and Acipenser schrenckii. This cross produces large, uniform eggs with a natural golden color and a firm structure. When the eggs burst, you experience a clear and delicate pop that is characteristic of this type of caviar.
Production takes place at Qingdao Lake in eastern China. The farming is managed by Kaluga Queen, one of the world’s largest and most renowned caviar producers. The sturgeon are raised directly in the lake and not in closed recirculating systems, which provides natural growth conditions and stable raw material quality. Kaluga Queen produces several quality grades, and only the very best are selected for this Gold caviar.
The hybrid sturgeon is typically harvested at the age of 7 to 8 years and at that time weighs approximately 25 to 50 kg. The caviar is lightly salted and matured for 12 weeks to achieve balance between flavor, structure, and finish.

Storage and handling of caviar
When you receive your caviar, it should be taken out of the polystyrene box immediately and placed at the back of the refrigerator. Here the temperature is typically between 0 and 2 °C, which is the correct storage temperature for caviar.
If the tin is stored unopened at the back of the refrigerator, the caviar will keep at least until the best-before date, which is stated on the underside of the tin. This shelf life assumes that the tin is not opened.
After opening, the caviar should be stored in the refrigerator with the lid clicked back on correctly. Once opened, it is recommended to use the caviar within 2 to 4 days to maintain optimal quality and flavor.
Caviar is a very sensitive product and easily absorbs flavors from its surroundings. It is therefore important to always use neutral serving utensils. The most commonly used materials are mother-of-pearl and horn, as these do not impart flavor and thus preserve the caviar’s pure and mineral profile.
