Beluga Hybrid is a mix of two sturgeon species: Huso Huso x Acipenser Baerii. Beluga is the largest and most luxurious type of caviar, with a buttery, smooth texture and large, tender pearls. Due to the lack of availability of Beluga caviar and the complexity of farming the species, many producers began cross-breeding Beluga with other faster-producing sturgeon species. This product exhibits the size and flavor profile of Beluga with the speed of production of smaller Siberian sturgeon to provide an alternative to the limited supplies of Beluga.
