Beluga, Ossetra, or Baeri Caviar: What's the Difference?

Beluga, Ossetra, Baeri: these three names refer to the most sought-after caviar varieties in the world, each coming from a different sturgeon species. Here's how to tell them apart to choose the one that best matches your taste and budget.

Baeri Caviar: the accessible choice

Sourced from Siberian sturgeon, Baeri offers medium-sized pearls, gray to dark brown, with a mild, buttery flavor. It's often the best entry point for discovering caviar, thanks to its excellent value for money.

Ossetra Caviar: the balanced choice

Sourced from Russian sturgeon, Ossetra is recognizable by its golden-to-brown pearls and characteristic hazelnut notes. It offers a perfect balance between finesse and intensity, enjoyed by connoisseurs and newcomers alike.

Beluga Caviar: absolute prestige

Sourced from the Huso Huso, the rarest and largest sturgeon in the world, Beluga stands out with its large, light gray to silvery pearls and its incomparable melt-in-the-mouth texture. It's the rarest and most prestigious caviar, reserved for special occasions.

How to choose?

For a first tasting or a controlled budget, Baeri is ideal. For a gourmet gift or an important meal, Ossetra offers an excellent middle ground. For a truly exceptional occasion, Beluga remains the ultimate reference in luxury.
