Baerii Caviar Properties and its Production Procedure
The properties of Siberian sturgeon and its Caviar: The Siberian sturgeon with the scientific name “Acipenser Baerii” is a species of sturgeon in the family “Acipenseridae” and grows in fresh water.
Due to the geographical position of Iran and the presence of fresh water in its various regions, farming this type of fish is so popular in the country. Thus, a very large amount of this type of sturgeon is bred and farmed in Iran.
Breeding this sturgeon is easier compared to than other types of sturgeon and grows faster. Also, it is worth mentioning that Siberian sturgeon is less prone to problems such as diseases, compared to other sturgeons.
The most significant difference between this type and other sturgeons bred in Iran is that Siberian sturgeon can spawn every year.

The maturity period of female Siberian sturgeons in the breeding site is completed at the age of 5 to 6 years. At this time, the weight of the sturgeons reaches 8 kg to 12 kg, their body length reaches 80 cm to 120 cm and their spawning rate is 12% to 17% of their body weight.
Because of the excellent characteristics of Siberian sturgeon including fast growth and spawning within 5 years, the production volume of Baerii Caviar is higher than other types of Caviar like Beluga in Iran.
Iranian Baerii Caviar is one of the popular and favored types of Caviar in the world and its color is dark brown or dark gray.
The size of Iranian Caviar is 2.2 mm to 3.0 mm, which is smaller than Beluga Caviar.

9Caviar Company (SWK) is one of the leading and pioneer companies in the field of Royal Baerii Caviar production and owns 2 sturgeon breeding farms in North of Iran. This company produces 500 to 700 kg of export Caviar every year and exports to many different countries.
Baerii Caviar Processing Stages
When the growth period of sturgeons is complete, they are ready for processing. 9Caviar Company conducts the Caviar processing in cooperation with Mirood Processing Center. Mirood Processing Center is one of the best processing centers in Iran and has got all the international standards and certificates, such as European Union (EU), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and HACCP.
The method of Caviar processing has a great impact on quality of Caviar for export. One of the important factors that have caused the Iranian Caviar to be very genuine and popular all over the world is the difference between Caviar processing methods in Iran and in other countries. In the following, we will explain more about this point.
Iranian Method of Caviar Processing
1)When the sturgeon is taken to the processing site, a small cut is made at the end of the sturgeon’s belly and the Caviar Gonad is extracted from its stomach.
2)The Caviars and Gonads are put into bowls containing cold water.
3)The Caviar processing expert puts the Gonads and Caviars on a special sieve mesh and separates Caviars from the Gonads.
4)After repeated and sufficient sieving, the caviars are fully examined and cleansed.
5)Then the Caviar processing expert adds salt, given the weight and specified formula of Caviar.
6)After the Caviar production and adding salt, the Baerii Caviar is categorized in terms of its color, consistency and size. Then it is put in the Original Tin and taken into the cold storage with the temperature -4. After the quarantine period, the Caviar can be supplied and sold.

Introduction – The Legacy of Iranian Caviar Excellence
Iran’s name has long been synonymous with the finest caviar in the world. From the shimmering waters of the Caspian Sea to international dining tables, Iranian caviar has defined luxury for centuries. Among the most distinguished varieties is Iranian Baerii Caviar — a delicacy admired for its silky texture, rich aroma, and sustainable production.
At 9Caviar, we proudly continue this legacy, sourcing and exporting premium Baerii caviar to global distributors, gourmet retailers, and fine dining establishments. Our mission is simple yet profound: to connect the world’s most discerning buyers with authentic Iranian caviar that embodies quality, purity, and heritage.
What Is Baerii Caviar?
Baerii Caviar, also known as Siberian Sturgeon caviar, comes from the Acipenser baerii species — a sturgeon native to Siberian river basins. In Iran, these sturgeons are cultivated under strictly controlled, sustainable aquaculture systems, ensuring optimal growth and quality.
Unlike the larger Beluga or Ossetra pearls, Baerii caviar eggs are smaller yet boast a deeply satisfying flavor. They range in color from charcoal grey to glossy black, offering a balance of brininess and buttery smoothness. This makes Baerii caviar a favorite among chefs who seek elegance with versatility.
The Iranian Advantage – Why Baerii Grown in Iran Is Exceptional
Iran’s unique climate, mineral-rich waters, and traditional expertise create the perfect conditions for producing Baerii caviar that surpasses global standards. The Caspian region offers a rare balance of salinity, temperature, and biodiversity that enhances both the flavor and nutritional profile of the caviar.
Additionally, Iran’s decades-long mastery of sturgeon farming ensures:
-
Consistent quality in every batch
-
Ethical and sustainable practices
-
Natural feeding methods
-
Advanced filtration and water management systems
In short, Iranian Baerii is not just caviar — it’s a symbol of precision, tradition, and luxury craftsmanship.

The hallmark of Iranian Baerii Caviar lies in its delicate grains and smooth, creamy finish. The pearls gently pop on the palate, releasing complex layers of umami with subtle hints of ocean breeze and roasted nuts.
