Imperial Beluga – 500g (3.2mm+). Extra-large silky pearls with elegant flavour and authentic Persian craftsmanship.
Dr Import proudly presents its Imperial Beluga – 500g (3.2mm+) — the pinnacle of authentic Persian caviar craftsmanship and the rarest classification of Huso huso available today. Sourced exclusively from mature Beluga sturgeon in the southern Caspian Sea, this elite grade is defined by its exceptionally large pearls, each measuring 3.2mm or more. These grains form only in the most carefully raised and fully mature sturgeon, making this grade extraordinarily limited and highly prized. Each 500g tin reflects this unparalleled rarity, offering the fullest expression of Huso huso excellence.
The pearls showcase a stunning gradient of pearl-grey, silver, and deep graphite tones, each shimmering with the unmistakable metallic sheen of true Iranian Beluga. Every grain is meticulously chosen for symmetry, integrity, and visual clarity, ensuring consistently flawless presentation across every 500g tin. The membrane is remarkably delicate, releasing a rich, silky burst that coats the palate with luxurious smoothness.
Flavour development is slow, elegant, and layered. It begins with a subtle creaminess, enhanced by gentle salinity and softly rounded marine notes. As it evolves, deeper elements emerge — refined umami, clean minerality, and a long, harmonious finish that lingers with extraordinary finesse. This sensory progression is unique to Iranian Huso huso and represents the highest tier of the Beluga experience.
Our caviar is sourced from long-established Iranian producers dedicated to ethical and sustainable Beluga cultivation. Their farms maintain pristine water quality, careful sturgeon husbandry, and responsible harvesting practices that preserve both the species and the centuries-old Persian caviar tradition. Each harvest is conducted with meticulous precision, ensuring the purity and integrity of every pearl.
After harvesting, the roe undergoes rigorous grading where only the largest and most immaculate pearls qualify for the Imperial Beluga – 500g (3.2mm+) classification. The caviar is then lightly salted using traditional Persian methods and packed under strict temperature control to preserve freshness and texture. Through Dr Import’s Direct Purchase Model, every 500g tin is fully traceable, responsibly handled, and delivered at peak quality.
Trusted by Michelin-starred chefs, luxury boutiques, and private collectors worldwide, Imperial Beluga – 500g (3.2mm+) embodies rarity, elegance, and the very essence of Persian excellence.
