Oscietra caviar – Prunier
Production of Oscietra caviar at Prunier began in 2010. Until then, the house’s focus had been on the original French caviar based on Acipenser baerii. With Oscietra, Prunier expanded its range with one of the world’s most sought-after caviar types, surpassed only by Beluga in exclusivity.
Oscietra caviar is known for its round and creamy texture as well as its aromatic character with notes of nuts and butter. The flavor profile develops broadly and harmoniously, making this caviar suitable for both savory and sweet cuisine. It works just as well in classic presentations as in more modern, creative uses.
The Oscietra sturgeon has the Latin name Acipenser gueldenstaedtii and is often referred to as the diamond sturgeon. The name refers to the distinctive diamond-shaped scutes along the back, which visually distinguish the species from other sturgeon types. The sturgeon is farmed under controlled conditions in France and harvested at an age when the roe has achieved optimal texture and depth of flavor.
The caviar is matured for 8 weeks in Prunier’s original maturation tins and salted at 3 percent. The eggs vary in color from amber to dark brown and have a firm yet creamy texture.

Storage and handling of caviar
When you receive your caviar, remove it from the polystyrene box immediately and place it 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 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 delicate ingredient and easily absorbs flavors from its surroundings. It is therefore important always to 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 clean and mineral profile.
