With a mission that favors sustainable practices and environmental awareness, Black River Caviar is about quality, not quantity. The company produces approximately 2.5 tons of caviar per year (about 3% of the U.S. caviar market), making it one of the most exclusive products available. Using the malossol (Russian for “little salt”) method, Black River Caviar’s Russian-trained caviar master delicately preserves the freshness of the nutty flavor and creamy texture of the caviar, allowing for true old-world authenticity to satisfy both the everyday epicure and the aspiring connoisseur.

"The best caviar I've had in a very long time. Ossetra from Uruguay. Sweet, fresh, fruity, sustainable."

Our Story

Founded by the Alcalde family on the Rio Negro, Uruguay, Black River Caviar has from its inception established itself as one of the highest quality producers of caviar in the world, and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere. The caviar is a marriage of old and new — using 21st century techniques to raise old-world species. Black River Caviar has set the bar for modern sustainable caviar with its "wild-raised" harvest conditions, exclusivity and quick delivery turnaround.

Black River Ossetra Malossol Caviar is among the finest caviar in the world. Our ossetra caviar is produced from farm raised Siberian sturgeon, originally imported as fertilized roe from Russia in 1995. All wild sturgeon are endangered, and Black River Caviar is dedicated to sustainable farming techniques, helping to ensure the longevity of some of the most endangered sturgeon species.

Black River Caviar is clearly the premier substitute for wild ossetra sturgeon caviar. Our sturgeon are fed an all-natural, organic feed. Our Russian Caviar Master uses the malossol, or "little salt" method, to enhance the superb flavor of our caviar. You will find that our caviar is large grain, has a fresh, clean, nutty taste, and creamy texture. We pride ourselves on consistency, and the only variance that you will find is the natural range in color from light brown to jet-black.
