Real Caspian Beluga caviar can sell for $10,000 per kilogram. But quality varies wildly, and even the most expensive restaurants in London or Dubai often serve farm-raised products masquerading as wild Caspian. In Baku, you can access the source.
The Three Grades
True connoisseurs distinguish between three categories: Beluga (largest pearls, buttery taste), Osetra (medium pearls, nutty), and Sevruga (small pearls, intense brine). A proper tasting includes all three.
The Conservation Story
Wild sturgeon populations are protected. Today, ethical caviar in Azerbaijan comes from licensed conservation farms that practice "tag and release" breeding. Our private tours visit one of only three such facilities, where you witness the production and taste straight from the source.
The Pairings That Matter
Forget vodka. The most refined pairing is vintage Champagne or 30-year-old Armagnac. We arrange tastings with three caviar grades paired with three different premium beverages, served on traditional mother-of-pearl spoons.
What to Bring Home
Customs regulations vary by country. We provide proper documentation and chilled transport packaging for your purchases, and can arrange international shipping where permitted.
