Beluga Caviar Price Guide and How to Choose the Right Beluga Caviar

Beluga caviar is priced by grade and tin size rather than a single fixed rate — grain size, colour uniformity and rarity all move the price. Here’s what to expect across our range:

If you’re wondering which Beluga Caviar you should buy, you’re not alone. Many first-time buyers compare the different grades before making their choice. While every Beluga Caviar in our collection offers exceptional quality, each selection is suited to a different occasion and preference. The main distinction lies in the selection process. Beluga Imperial is chosen for its larger, more uniform pearls and particularly refined taste, while Beluga Imperial Selection represents the very highest grade, selected for its outstanding appearance, texture, and overall quality.

If you’re searching for the best Beluga Caviar, the answer depends on the experience you’re looking for. Whether you choose classic Beluga, Beluga Imperial, or Beluga Imperial Selection, every tin is carefully selected to deliver the exceptional flavour, freshness, and luxury that have made Beluga Caviar the world’s most celebrated caviar.

Tins are available in 30g, 50g, 125g, 250g and 500g. As a rough guide, our Standard Beluga works out to approximately €1,860 per kilogram at retail pricing, rising to roughly €2,300/kg for Imperial and €2,640/kg for Imperial Selection.

Types of Beluga Caviar: Standard, Imperial & Imperial Selection

The three Beluga grades share the same sturgeon lineage but differ in grain size, colour consistency, and how strictly each batch is selected.

• Beluga Caviar (Standard) is the benchmark: large, lustrous grains with a soft shell and a rich, buttery finish. It’s the most accessible entry point into Beluga and the grade most chefs reach for by default.
• Beluga Imperial Caviar steps up in size (3.1–3.2mm) and visual consistency — a striking light-to-dark grey palette selected for dinner parties and presentation-focused service.
• Beluga Imperial Selection is the top of the standard range: every grain measures 3.3mm or larger, hand-graded for a flexible shell and an “eye-like” sheen. This is the grade serious collectors order by name.

For the rarest tier above even Imperial Selection, see our Almas Caviar — the albino Beluga variety, harvested from sturgeon over 60 years old, and the most expensive caviar we sell.

Beluga Caviar Grading: What “Imperial” and “Imperial Selection” Actually Mean

Beluga is graded on three factors:

• Grain size — measured in millimetres; standard grades start around 3.0mm, Imperial Selection requires 3.3mm or larger.
• Colour uniformity — a consistent grey-to-silver tone across the whole tin is worth more than a mixed batch, right up to the near-white grains of true albino (Almas) fish.
• Shell texture — the classic “pop” on the tongue comes from a shell that’s firm enough to hold its shape but soft enough to burst cleanly; this is assessed by hand at grading, not by machine.

Higher grades cost more because fewer grains from each harvest qualify — not because of added processing. A larger, more consistent grain is simply rarer.

Where Does Beluga Caviar Come From?

Beluga roe comes from the Huso huso sturgeon, a species native to the Caspian and Black Seas that can live over a century and doesn’t reach reproductive maturity for up to 25 years — which is why wild Beluga is now internationally restricted and virtually all legal Beluga caviar, including ours, comes from sustainable aquaculture. With nearly four decades of experience sourcing premium Caspian caviar, Culture Caviar works with trusted aquaculture partners to deliver authentic Beluga Caviar across Europe. Our Beluga is farmed in partnership with Iranian caviar producers, continuing a Persian tradition of sturgeon husbandry that predates the modern caviar trade by centuries. That patience is really what luxury caviar comes down to for us — decades of careful broodstock management rather than a marketing label — and it’s the same thinking behind our approach to sustainable caviar.

Beluga Caviar Benefits

Beyond flavour, Beluga is a genuinely nutrient-dense food — rich in B12, Omega-3 fatty acids, iodine and selenium, at roughly 75 calories per 28g serving. It’s one of the reasons we put together a full caviar benefits breakdown covering every grade we sell, not just Beluga, if you want the complete nutritional picture.

Most Expensive Beluga Caviar

Within the Beluga family, Almas Caviar — the albino Beluga variety — is both the rarest and the most expensive, priced up to €3,800 for larger tins due to the extreme age and scarcity of the sturgeon it comes from. Beluga isn’t the only caviar that reaches prices like that, though — Almas actually tops the most expensive caviar in the world overall, Beluga or otherwise, if you’re curious how it stacks up beyond our own range.
