White Sturgeon Caviar
Spawned, hatched and reared only in California hatcheries, the prized White Sturgeon is transferred at maturity to one of our unused steelhead ponds. This is where the pristine, high velocity, Mountain Springwater firms the sturgeon’s flesh and purges it of any off tastes. When the fish is ready, we harvest, pack and cure the caviar by hand in small batches at our sterile Red Bluff facility. We cure our caviar in a 3.4-3.6% brine solution to ensure optimal texture and taste. Everything we do is by hand and with a complete focus on the best quality.
Once our Mountain Springwater Caviar is packed, we hold it at a consistent 29F temperature and turn each container weekly to ensure consistent curing of every orb.
We focus on two things with our caviar: one, good, consistent curing to produce a fresh but slightly salty flavor. Main thing is to let the flavor of the eggs come through consistently. Second, we want nice, firm texture that pops in your mouth. Our new production in 2024 achieves all of these things.
When our caviar has aged long enough and is properly cured, it’s ready for the top chefs of California and around the country. It’s ready now!
We produce in 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz and 32 oz sizes.
