Calvisius Tradition Royal (Acipenser Transmontanus) Caviar is a delicious caviar harvested from the beautiful white sturgeon native to North American West coast, from Alaska to Southern California. This sturgeon is absolutely huge, especially compared with its smaller cousin, the star sturgeon. This fish can grow up to 800kgs and is a sturgeon labeled as least concern, due to its high population.

Tasting Notes from the Curator

White sturgeon roe is among the biggest on the market. With a diameter between 3 mm and 3.2 mm, each bite is aromatic, buttery, and smooth. The color of the caviar is dark gray to ebony with hints of amber in the right light. It has a light texture and feels compact on the tongue. The palate offers a robust fruity and nuttiness that is offset by subtle nuances of the sea. It is very easy to consume and must done so with care lest one find themselves finishing the entire jar without really savoring each complex bite.

Preparation and Pairing

This particular caviar is, of course, best enjoyed on its own. It may also be paired with other condiments and bases. A simple bilin with a serving of the caviar and sour cream or freshly squeezed lemon is exquisite. It also works well as a garnish for a scallop carpaccio. Fresh, deep-sea scallops served raw, topped with caviar and served with wonderful beet reduction elevates this prestigious caviar to an entirely different level. Pair this delicious caviar with an ample flute of Bohigas Brut Reserva Cava.

It’s all about the fish

While many sturgeons are critically endangered, Calvisius have created sustainable farming techniques thanks to their natural spring water ponds and Sturgeon research laboratories. Through studying the fish, they were able to devise a system of sustainability that not only prevented the sturgeon numbers from declining, but allowed them to thrive. Calvisius have been awarded various levels and titles for their commitment to the sustainability of their farmed caviar fish.
