Schrenckii

Amur Sturgeon

Schrenckii caviar comes from the Amur sturgeon, with medium pearls, amber to dark brown in colour. With a gentle disposition and distinctive appearance, it is regarded as a prized ornamental fish in many regions. The caviar is rich and aromatic, marked by pronounced creamy notes, and finishes with a subtle, refreshing hint of fresh fruit.

Frequently asked

What does Schrenckii caviar taste like?

Expect rich, creamy and nutty, with medium pearls, amber to dark brown in colour. It should read fresh and savoury, never "fishy" — the pearls pop and release a gentle brine.

Is Schrenckii caviar good for beginners?

Yes. Schrenckii is mellow and forgiving — one of the easiest to start with, great on eggs, potatoes, or straight off the spoon.

How is Schrenckii different from Baerii?

Schrenckii brings rich, creamy and nutty, while Baerii leans light, pure, fresh, delicate. Pearl size and colour differ by species too, so it's worth tasting both to find your favourite.
