Tsar Reserve Kaluga Fusion Caviar

Tsar Reserve is our most prized Kaluga Fusion — collected at the moment of maximum freshness for a flavor that is flawless. Large deep olive pearls with a sweet, buttery, nutty complexity that defines what premium caviar should taste like.

Tsar Reserve Kaluga Fusion Caviar is the pinnacle of our Kaluga collection — a caviar harvested at the precise moment of peak freshness to ensure an absolutely flawless tasting experience. A hybrid of Kaluga (Huso Dauricus) and Amur Sturgeon (Acipenser Schrencki), its large deep olive pearls — 0.12 to 0.13 inches — are visually stunning and gastronomically extraordinary. The flavor is a complex interplay of sweet richness, buttery depth, and a lingering nutty finish that rewards every bite. Farmed in the Amur River region under strict quality standards, Tsar Reserve represents the very best of what Kaluga Fusion can offer. Delivered fresh overnight across the USA with premium packaging. Free shipping on orders over $300.

Serving Recommendations
