Description
Sturia is the brand of the first caviar producer in France, with an annual production of 12 tons of different types of caviar. Pioneers in sturgeon breeding in France, installed very close to Bordeaux, at the mouth of the Garonne river, in a environment of natural pools where the filtered and oxygenated water of the river mixes with the salty water of the Atlantic Ocean.In these natural pools, the sturgeons have enough space to grow and develop in the best way.
When female sturgeons are between 10 and 12 years old, it is the optimal time to obtain the best caviar, after ultrasound. Once they have spawned, the grains are selected by size and color.
Then the caviar grains are placed in 1kg tins with a little salt and placed in the cold affinage" cellar (-2º) to cure.
