Core offering

Russian Black Caviar farms sturgeon (sterlet, Siberian sturgeon, beluga) on its own aquaculture complexes in Taganrog and Saratov and sells premium black caviar — sterlet, sturgeon, beluga, pressed, mildly salted, and ultra-premium golden albino — directly to consumers via its own e-commerce website and telephone ordering. Production uses the zaboy (slaughter) method on pure salt without preservatives or pasteurization, with year-round availability, GOST and veterinary certification, and proprietary thermal packaging enabling fresh (non-frozen) nationwide delivery across Russia and the CIS.

Product overview

Russian Black Caviar (OOO 'Russkaya Chernaya Ikra') operates an e-commerce platform for premium black caviar products sourced from sustainably farmed sturgeon species. The product portfolio centers on five core caviar varieties: Sterlet (Икра Стерляди), Sturgeon (Икра Осетровая), Beluga (Икра Белуги), Pressed (Икра Паюсная), and Mildly Salted (Икра Малосол), supplemented by the ultra-premium Golden Albino Caviar (Золотая Икра Альбиноса). Products are available in glass jars (50g, 100g) and tin cans (125g, 250g), with gift sets and thermal packaging accessories for nationwide delivery. The company positions all products as sustainably farmed (aquaculture), GOST-certified, and highest-grade quality.
