Tranmontanus
OverviewTransmontanus caviar (White Sturgeon)
The Transmontanus is native to North America but was introduced to Europe due to its rapid growth, tolerance to varying conditions, and high caviar yield. Italian farmers use high-quality water sources, such as natural springs and recirculated system water, with strict control over oxygen levels and temperature.
Transmontanus caviar is renowned for its large, glossy eggs with a delicate flavour. It takes 14–15 years for the fish to reach maturity for caviar production. The flavour of this caviar is perfectly balanced with rounded notes, combining delicate nuances of the sea with light, buttery flavours reminiscent of pastries. This caviar appeals to the most discerning gourmets of all ages and cultures.
