Acipentris Caviar

Acipentris® Caviar is a celebration of old-world luxury and time-honored pleasures. It offers a firm, graceful texture with savory flavors and a melting finish.

A Fresh Revival of an Old World Favorite

Commonly known as Ship Sturgeon, Acipentris was nearly lost to time as it struggled to compete with other species in the southern Caspian Sea. However, Petrossian is dedicated to species preservation for all sturgeon and has worked closely with premier caviar farms on Lake Mantosa in Madagascar to resurrect this treasured caviar. Together, we’ve cultivated a unique experience that will captivate both newcomers and caviar aficionados alike.

Rather than leaning on brine and butter, Acipentris makes a bold, smoky entrance that evokes fresh jamon or even crisp bacon, before easing into creamier, nuttier notes, like cashew and hazelnut. It releases the taster with a clean, mineral finish, that leaves the tastebuds gushing and ready for more. Because of its intense complexity, Acipentris makes a perfect contrast to more buttery and briny caviars, such as Kaluga or Baika, and an ideal topping for improving your favorite dish.
