Russian Osetra Caviar

Russian Osetra Caviar was once prominent in the Caspian Sea. Before over-fishing, Russian Sturgeon (species: acipenser gueldenstaedtii) flourished in the Caspian Sea. Today, they are classified as critically endangered. So, the only way to have Russian Osetra Caviar is by farming. Aquafarms can use several farming methods. Marshallberg Farm is the only producer using a […]

The Biology of Caviar Harvesting

By Dr. I.J. Won, PhD In nature, the best caviar is produced about a month before spawning. Before that, the eggs are small and immature and, after that, they get soft, mushy, and inedible. The best caviar is defined in shape and has a slight pop in the mouth. Let me explain: All wild sturgeons […]

What temperature should I store my caviar?

Our caviar tins freeze at around 18°F, so storing slightly above that temp is the best bet to maximize shelf life. We store ours at around 23°F. But most home fridges are at about 34° – 36°. To help lower the temp, you can put your tin on a bowl of ice in the fridge […]

How to Open Your Caviar Tin

Although vacuum sealing is the best way to preserve the quality of our caviar, the tins can occasionally be tricky to open. We recommend using a short-handled flathead screwdriver. We sell these in our shop, or you can pick one up at your local hardware store. They work better (and are less expensive) than fancy […]

Why Russia-Ukraine Conflict Does Not Impact US Caviar Market

Because it’s not from Russia or Ukraine! All sturgeon species from The Caspian Sea are critically endangered with a ban on fishing, hence caviar has not come from Russia in over 30 years. Almost all of the caviar distributed in the USA is currently from Chinese farms. Read this article in Aquaculture North America published […]

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.

Stephen Anderson 02/20/22

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!!

Viktoria Sikora 01/01/22

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.
