Kaluga and Amur Caviar

Kaluga and Amur caviar is considered a fine alternative to the prestigious Beluga, distinguished mainly by its lower cost. The Kaluga sturgeon inhabits only the Amur River and its tributaries, located between Russia and China.

The main farms for this sturgeon are in Yidu, China. While its caviar is very similar to Beluga, it has a slightly less delicate flavor. Kaluga eggs are notable for their shades ranging from brown to golden.
