Kaluga (Huso dauricus) is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. Its caviar is prized for big pearls and a clean, buttery flavour with a long finish — often compared to Beluga, but from a sustainable farmed source.

Frequently asked
What does Huso Dauricus caviar taste like?
Expect buttery, smooth and long finish, with large pearls, grey to golden in colour. It should read fresh and savoury, never "fishy" — the pearls pop and release a gentle brine.
Is Huso Dauricus caviar good for beginners?
Huso Dauricus is more distinctive, so it shines as the centrepiece. If it's your very first tin, a milder species like Siberian (Baerii) is an easier entry point.
How is Huso Dauricus different from Baerii?
Huso Dauricus brings buttery, smooth and long finish, while Baerii leans nutty, mellow, creamy. Pearl size and colour differ by species too, so it's worth tasting both to find your favourite.
