Caviar Osciètre Prunier Classique
The iconic French Oscietra by Prunier
The Prunier Oscietra Classique caviar comes from the Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii sturgeon, raised for over 12 years at the Prunier Manufacture, in Aquitaine. Its balance between flavour and texture makes it an ideal caviar for discovering the species.
On the palate, it offers medium-sized pearls, a particularly creamy texture and a hazelnut finish. Its delicate, lingering and lightly briny flavour places it within the great tradition of Oscietra caviar.

FAQ
Our expert answers your questions
Why does the Oscietra Classique require a minimum of 12 years of farming?
The Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii reaches full maturity between 10 and 15 years. For the Prunier Oscietra Classique, the House chooses to wait around 12 years before harvesting its precious roe, which allows the pearls to reach their characteristic medium size and to develop the aromatic palette specific to the Prunier Oscietra (hazelnut notes, lingering finish).
