Osetra vs. Kaluga: Which Caviar Should You Try First?

Osetra is the classic: olive-to-bronze pearls, a clean briny start and a long, nutty, buttery finish. It is the caviar most people picture when they picture caviar.

Kaluga is the crowd-pleaser: larger, softer pearls with a milder, rounder, more buttery taste and less brine. If you're new to caviar or serving guests with a range of palates, start here.

Can't decide? Our Caviar Taster and Starter Set let you taste them side by side — the only truly correct answer.
