America's finest native caviar. Hackleback's glossy dark gray pearls — silver-like in appearance — deliver an intense, nutty, buttery flavor from the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Dense, tender, and perfect for sharing at any special occasion.
Hackleback Caviar is the crown jewel of American domestic caviar — harvested from Scaphirhynchus Platorynchus, a sturgeon native to the Mississippi and Missouri river systems. Despite coming from one of the smallest sturgeon species, Hackleback delivers a flavor that punches well above its weight: intensely nutty and buttery, with a dense, tender texture and a clean, satisfying finish. Its glossy dark gray pearls have a silver-like sheen that makes them as visually appealing as they are delicious. Sustainably farmed in the USA and delivered fresh overnight, Hackleback is the perfect choice for those who want premium domestic caviar without compromise. Free shipping on orders over $300.
Tasting Notes
Flavor: Rich, buttery, with a clean briny finish. Hints of nuttiness and the sea.
Texture: Firm, glossy pearls with a satisfying pop.
Color: Deep amber to obsidian black, varying by sturgeon species and grade.
Origin & Source
Sourced directly from heritage sturgeon farms across the Caspian Basin and Aquitaine region. CITES-certified, raised under sustainable aquaculture practices that preserve the centuries-old caviar tradition.
Serving Recommendations
- Pairings: Champagne (Brut), Russian Standard or Beluga vodka, chilled blini, crème fraîche, chopped egg, finely diced red onion
- Servingware: Always use a mother-of-pearl, horn, or bone spoon — never metal (oxidation alters flavor)
- Temperature: Serve chilled at 28-32°F (-2 to 0°C)
- Portion: Plan for 15-30g per guest as appetizer; 50-100g for a tasting experience
Storage
Refrigerate immediately upon arrival at 28-32°F (coldest part of fridge). Best consumed within 3 weeks of opening; sealed tins keep up to 8 weeks. Never freeze.
