EQ Honos Schrenckii x Dauricus Caviar

EQ HONOS Malossol Hybrid Schrenckii - Dauricus sturgeon caviar (Light Hue)

• The hybrid results from Huso dauricus (female, aka Kaluga sturgeon) crossed with Acipenser schrenckii (male, aka Amur sturgeon).
• This hybrid is cultivated in aquaculture (not wild-harvest) under controlled conditions.
• The resulting roe is often marketed under names like “Kaluga Hybrid” or “Schrenckii-Dauricus Hybrid”.
• Typical characteristics: relatively large pearls (roughly ~3 mm diameter) for a hybrid.
• Colour tends to be amber-brown / golden / light golden brown (rather than pure black) in many offerings.
• Flavour profile: described often as buttery or creamy, nutty undertones, sometimes hints of sea breeze / light brine — more delicate than some of the heavier wild-beluga caviars.
• From a sustainability/industry viewpoint: the hybrid of H. dauricus × A. schrenckii is one of the major hybrids used in farmed sturgeon/caviar production.
