{"product_id":"kaluga-caviar","title":"Kaluga Caviar","description":"\u003cp\u003eKaluga caviar — \u003cem\u003eHuso Dauricus\u003c\/em\u003e — is one of the rarest caviars in the world. The eggs are large at 3.2–3.6mm, with a striking golden-brown hue, a smooth and creamy texture, and a flavour profile of butter and salt upfront, gentle nuttiness through the middle, and a long, clean oceanic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to the Amur River basin in far-east Asia, Huso Dauricus is the only other member of the same genus as \u003cem\u003eHuso Huso\u003c\/em\u003e — the Beluga — sharing similar egg size, the same rich buttery character, and a comparable depth of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most prestigious product in the Amur River family — which also includes our \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/amur-acipenser-schrenckii\"\u003eAmur\u003c\/a\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAcipenser Schrenckii\u003c\/em\u003e) and \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/imperial-amur-x-kaluga-hybrid\"\u003eImperial\u003c\/a\u003e (a hybrid of the two) — pure Kaluga is the benchmark against which the others are measured.

Kaluga (\u003cem\u003eHuso Dauricus\u003c\/em\u003e) and Beluga (\u003cem\u003eHuso Huso\u003c\/em\u003e) share the same genus — the only two members of the \u003cem\u003eHuso\u003c\/em\u003e family — and the similarities show in the experience: large eggs, buttery richness, a smooth texture, and a long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/beluga-huso-huso-caviar\"\u003eBeluga\u003c\/a\u003e tends to open with a stronger umami presence and deeper briny intensity, Kaluga is slightly rounder and softer — not less impressive, just differently expressive. For most palates, the difference is subtle. The price difference is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is Kaluga Caviar golden-brown?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people expect caviar to be black, and most of it is — but not all. Caviar comes in many different shades and colours, ranging from white, yellow, and golden to grey, dark brown, and green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKaluga is one of them. The eggs range from deep amber to a warm golden-brown, a natural result of the species' genetics rather than any treatment or processing. It's one of Kaluga's most distinctive characteristics and often the first thing people notice. Our Amur and Imperial caviars share this same warm colour family — a signature of the Amur River species that sets them apart from the darker \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/white-sturgeon-tradition-caviar\"\u003eWhite Sturgeon\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/siberian-baerii-caviar\"\u003eSiberian\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/osetra-russian-caviar\"\u003eOsetra\u003c\/a\u003e varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Kaluga Caviar legal in Canada?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — fully. Kaluga is farmed sustainably and is CITES-compliant, with no import or sale restrictions in Canada. Unlike wild Beluga from the Caspian Sea, which has been restricted since 2005, farmed Kaluga is available year-round without limitation. You get the Beluga-family flavour profile with none of the legal or supply concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CaviarHub","offers":[{"title":"30g","offer_id":53245520642345,"sku":"quint-kaluga-30g","price":154.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":53245520675113,"sku":"quint-kaluga-50g","price":238.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":53245520707881,"sku":"quint-kaluga-100g","price":428.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/kaluga-q-1.webp?v=1781114590","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/fr\/products\/kaluga-caviar","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
