Gordon Ramsay Is Stunned by Farmed Caviar

Farmed caviar is becoming more popular, as the source for wild-caught sturgeon has disappeared. Farmed sturgeon and caviar in the US is a “Best Choice” from Monterrey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch. Russian sturgeon are critically endangered. The few survivors who remain in the wild are being poached, even with laws and restrictions stricter than ever. Farming sturgeon is an excellent way to counter the illegal trade of endangered Russian sturgeon. With high-tech recirculating aquaculture systems, raising sturgeon indoors under close monitoring results in very clean, decadent farmed caviar and sturgeon meat. Unlike farmed sturgeon caviar from China or Iran, Marshallberg Farm does not use borax or any preservatives other than salt. Borax is added to farmed caviar and wild-caught caviar for preservation and texture, but is found to be toxic to pregnant women and small children. Borax is also used to kill insects. Osetra from Marshallberg Farm is simply Russian sturgeon roe and salt. This recipe is called “Malossol,” a Russian term for “lightly salted.” There are many ways to serve caviar, but if the caviar is from Russian sturgeon (a superior grade), a great way to serve is alone or with a sip of cold vodka.

From the Yildiz, Mongolian queen’s favorite dish of baked apples with caviar, or the ever-favorite blini with creme fraise and caviar, there’s sure to be some new traditions to be invented in these modern times.

Classic Osetra Caviar

I'm blown away with the quality and taste of your Caviar. I was a first time buyer and I didn't know what to expect. I've never had 100% authentic caviar and all I can say was WOW!!!! I definitely can't afford to buy this on a regular basis but I can tell you I might sneak in an anniversary and maybe even a birthday. No one in my family eats it except me, I HAVE IT ALL to myself. I received it in great packaging and it was ice cold. I was going to wait until Christmas to open a tin but I couldn't wait. I was like a kid in a candy store. I paired with the potato Latkes recipe from your website. Absolutely incredible. The only regret I have is I should have ordered a larger tin. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas

Products from Marshallberg Farm have added a new dimension of excellence to our family gatherings. We have enjoyed the flavorful smoked sturgeon, creamy smoked sturgeon spread and, of course, the decadent Osetra caviar. The quality and flavor of these products simply cannot be surpassed and we look forward to enjoying them at future family gatherings.

Royal Osetra

Simply sublime in terms of taste, color and texture! Overall, it exceeded my expectations. I look forward to my next purchase. The value of this product is amazing.

Excellent. My wife and I had the royal ossetra in a three-way test against two top-shelf imported caviars (another ossetra and a beluga hybrid), and this one more than held its own. Nice firm eggs, with a distinct flavor and just a little saltiness.

Premium Osetra Sampler

We received our caviar delivery in anticipation of making our New Year’s Eve an unforgettable evening. Even with high expectations, we were absolutely blown away with the quality and flavor of everything we received. It was truly one of the greatest at-home food experiences we’ve ever had. I also highly suggest the smoked sturgeon filet. It will not get better than a bite of Caviar on Sturgeon! I will be dreaming about this until we place our next order!!

This product EXCEEDED my expectations! It matched my memories of the "real deal" from many years ago and definitely exceeded all the other tries to duplicate that experience since. I brought it to a NYE party which proved to be a HUGE hit among very discriminating friends. Thank you and I look forward to celebrating with your product again. Worth every cent. Viktoria Sikora

We did a Christmas Eve caviar tasting. 2 grocery store roes, one French caviar, and 2 from The Caviar Farm. There was a night and day difference. The NC caviars were by far the best. I highly recommend their products !

B Buckley 12/21/21

Every product is delicious. I will never order Russian caviar again. What a pleasure to find such quality in a NC product. The Ossetra is the best I have had including the Russian Tea Room and Petrossian in NY.

Gold Reserve

The golden was the best caviar we have had!!! Agreed by all, truly the golden was amazing!!! We have been eating Marshallberg’s for years. We have compared it to the best we have had. Hands down Marshallberg’s the best!!! We have shared it with Michelin chef friends and industry experts, The vote is always the same, the best. I have Persian friends that bring us caviar from Iran. This goes toe to toe.

I have tried many different sources for caviar and Marshallberg Farm is simply the best. The flavor was what I was looking for and the texture was magnificent. The product came arrived at the perfect temperature because the packaging was the best I have ever seen. A terrific experience from start to finish.
