Understanding Caviar Pricing

Caviar pricing reflects the rarity of the sturgeon species, the age of the fish (Beluga sturgeon take 20+ years to mature), and the quality of the roe. Sustainable aquaculture has made some varieties more accessible, but wild Caspian caviar remains the most prized.

The grading system considers egg size, color, firmness, and flavor. Imperial or Reserve grades represent the top 10-15% of production and command significant premiums over standard grades.
