Ossetra Caviar
Renowned as a preferred choice among top chefs, Ossetra caviar is celebrated for its subtle marine flavors. Originating from the Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii sturgeon species, this caviar takes seven years to mature its eggs. Its brown grains are notable for their unique golden or green tints, setting them apart from the Baeri caviar. In terms of texture, Ossetra caviar is firm, allowing the sturgeon eggs to roll delicately over the palate, creating a refined sensory experience. Rova Caviar categorizes its caviar based on grain size: the « Royal » range includes pearls of 2.8 mm, « Imperial » encompasses sizes from 2.9 to 3 mm, and the « Supreme » range features exceptional eggs measuring 2.9 mm.

The Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii Sturgeon
The Caspian Sea, one of the oldest natural habitats for sturgeon, is renowned as the origin of the Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii, the species responsible for the esteemed Ossetra caviar. This particular fish is easily distinguished from others by its short snout and its unique skin texture, which ranges from rough black to yellow and features prominent escutcheons. More active than its Acipenser Baerii counterpart, the Russian sturgeon, from which Ossetra caviar is derived, feeds vigorously and utilizes the entire space of its rearing tank. the Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii sturgeon, also known as the Russian sturgeon, was the second species introduced to the Acipenser farm. It takes approximately 7 years to produce eggs ranging in size from 2.8 mm to over 3.2 mm in diameter. This fish is raised with a profound respect for both nature and animal welfare, which contributes significantly to its exceptional breeding performance.
