Osetra

Osetra is the safest luxury recommendation when someone wants classic caviar flavor: nutty, buttery, and layered without being aggressive.

Kaluga

Kaluga is the most forgiving premium choice for newer buyers because the pearls are large and the flavor is smooth, clean, and restrained.

Sevruga

Sevruga is the bold option: smaller eggs, stronger salinity, and a sharper finish that experienced caviar eaters often prefer.

White Sturgeon

White Sturgeon is the American workhorse: approachable, balanced, and excellent for hosting because it pairs easily.
