Osetra caviar, also known as ‘Ossetra’ or ‘Osietra’, is globally regarded as one of the most prestigious varieties of caviar. This caviar is celebrated for its unique, complex flavor profile: a rich, full-bodied taste with a highly distinctive nutty finish. The color of the pearls is stunning, ranging from deep olive green to shimmering golden brown. Its texture is firmer than that of the Baeri, providing the characteristic 'pop' on the palate. An absolute favorite among connoisseurs!
Caviar is a healthy source of vitamins, minerals, and Omega-3 fatty acids. At de Steurhoeve, our Russian sturgeon are raised in a completely natural and sustainable manner in our closed indoor facility in Laren. Because the Osetra sturgeon takes an average of 10 to 12 years to produce eggs, this is a product of extreme patience and craftsmanship. In the final stage before harvest, the fish are kept in tanks with pure, clear water to guarantee an impeccable, clean taste. No antibiotics or chemicals are used, and the entire process is fully traceable from source to tin.
Ingredients: sturgeon roe (Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii), salt, Sodium Borate.

Aquaculture product from the Netherlands
Osetra caviar from de Steurhoeve is the ultimate choice for those seeking depth and exclusivity. Sourced from the Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), this caviar offers a taste sensation often described by experts as the "golden standard." The pearls are larger and firmer than those of the Baeri, allowing the flavors to release slowly and elegantly. When you decide to buy Osetra caviar, you are choosing a product with a rich history and an unparalleled nutty aftertaste that lingers long after the first bite.
At de Steurhoeve in Laren, caviar farming is a long-term commitment. The Russian sturgeon requires years of intensive care before the eggs reach the perfect maturity. This explains why caviar is so expensive; Osetra represents an investment of over a decade of dedication. Our sturgeon farm in the Netherlands utilizes the most modern techniques to mimic a natural ecosystem. Each fish is individually monitored, ensuring we guarantee the quality of our Russian sturgeon caviar at the highest level, free from antibiotics and with complete respect for the animal.
The complex aromas of Osetra caviar are best appreciated with a careful presentation. The question "how to eat caviar the best way?" is extra relevant here due to the layering of flavors: always serve the caviar ice-cold in a caviar cooler. For the purest experience, taste the Osetra directly from the back of your hand, though the firm pearls also pair exquisitely with blinis or a lightly poached quail egg. Always use a mother-of-pearl caviar spoon; metal can negatively affect the delicate, nutty notes of the sturgeon eggs.
