All about Beluga Fish

The scientific name of Beluga Fish is Huso huso and it is also called Shekam sefid (white-belly) fish in Iran.

This type of fish is often found in the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, and in terms of size, it is considered the largest freshwater fish.

Physical Characteristics of Beluga Fish:

Physically, Beluga fish have a spindle-shaped body that narrows near the tail, a crescent-shaped mouth and a short snout. When the age of these fish increases, due to the growth of the head and body, the tip of their snout becomes sharper.

The color of the back of this fish is gray and its belly is white. In terms of measurement, the body length of an adult Beluga fish is 200 cm (2 meters) and its weight is more than 50 kg.

In special and rare cases, the length of the Beluga fish can reach 6 m and its weight can reach more than 1000 kg.

Beluga Fish or Huso Huso Breeding:

Beluga fish or Huso huso is one of the rarest and most valuable types of Sturgeon in the world. Due to the geographical conditions of Iran, Beluga fish breeding is done in the best way and with the highest quality in this country.

Beluga fish may take 20 years to mature in the wild, and it is possible that this fish can live up to 118 years. But the farmed type of this fish matures in 7-10 years.

The value of Beluga fish is not only because of its excellent and high-quality caviar, but the benefits of its meat and skin are also known in the world, and its raw and cooked forms have many fans.

9Caviar Company has 2 sturgeon farms in Iran and is one of the key producers and breeders of Iranian Beluga fish.

benefits of Royal Beluga Caviar

Definitely, caviar is one of the most valuable and of course the most expensive and luxurious foods in the world. In the rest of this section, we will briefly describe some of the benefits of Iranian beluga caviar.

Prevention of depression: Some researches in the early stages have shown that people who suffer from depression, bipolar disorder and other mental problems have shown signs of improvement by consuming foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as caviar.
Prevention of cardiovascular diseases: Omega-3 fatty acids in Royal Beluga caviar are very beneficial for the prevention and treatment of heart diseases.
Strengthening the immune system: Iranian beluga caviar is rich in vitamins A, E, C, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids, and all of these help to strengthen the immune system.
Improving skin health by consuming caviar: Royal beluga caviar and other types of caviar are usually used in the production of cosmetics and health products, especially in anti-aging products such as caviar masks. Vitamins A and E present in Iranian caviar improve the symptoms of some skin problems and diseases.
Strengthening bones: Caviar is rich in zinc, magnesium, iron and calcium. Calcium is very important and necessary for bone health. If someone is allergic to lactose and cannot consume dairy products, caviar is a very good source to provide the calcium needed by these people.

Is there any harm in consuming caviar?

Due to the high amount of vitamins, minerals and essential fats in Iranian caviar, this food has relatively high levels of cholesterol, sodium and calories. Taking this point into consideration, eating moderate portions of this food, i.e. about 30 to 50 grams of caviar for each person, is a proper amount.

Consumption of caviar is harmful only if the person’s body has an allergic reaction to it. Also, you should consult a doctor before consuming Iranian beluga caviar during pregnancy. Caviar contraindications for pregnant women are related to conditions in which salt consumption is prohibited or limited for medical reasons. Also, if a person is allergic to Royal Beluga caviar or other seafood, it is best to avoid caviar during pregnancy.

In addition, it is recommended to consult a doctor about giving caviar to children who are less than three years old, and these children should consume only small amounts of Iranian beluga caviar.

Consumption of caviar for other people has no special restrictions.

What is Almas Caviar?

Female Huso huso or Iranian Beluga fish has very unique and amazing roes. After processing, these roes get a very special feature. What is this wonderful feature? The unique feature of Almas Beluga caviar is in its color.

This caviar has a very bright and milky white color, and in some cases, it is also in golden color. This type of caviar is called Almas (diamond) caviar, and maybe one out of every 100 Beluga fish has this type of caviar. Therefore, this type of caviar is very rare and for this reason it can have a high price.

Introduction: Where Elegance Meets Legacy

In the world of fine delicacies, few products symbolize prestige and rarity like Beluga Caviar. For centuries, this exquisite delicacy has captivated gourmets, chefs, and connoisseurs across the globe. Yet, among all the world’s caviar-producing regions, Iran stands supreme. From the pristine waters of the Caspian Sea comes the most sought-after variety — Iranian Beluga Caviar, renowned for its remarkable taste, texture, and purity.

At 9Caviar, we proudly continue this tradition, offering premium-grade Beluga caviar sourced directly from sustainable Iranian farms. With a focus on B2B partnerships, wholesale supply, and international export, we bring the world’s rarest caviar to fine dining establishments, distributors, and gourmet retailers across continents.

What Is Beluga Caviar?

Beluga caviar is the roe of the Huso huso sturgeon — the largest and most majestic sturgeon species found in the Caspian Sea. It produces the largest, softest, and most delicate pearls among all caviar types, prized for their buttery flavor and subtle notes of the ocean.

Iranian Beluga caviar is characterized by its large grey to pearl-colored grains, offering an unmatched creamy texture and refined, lingering taste. Every spoonful reflects centuries of craftsmanship and a deep respect for nature — qualities that make Iranian Beluga not just food, but an experience of luxury.

The Caspian Sea Legacy – A Heritage of Excellence

The Caspian Sea, shared by Iran and a few neighboring countries, is the heartland of the sturgeon species. For thousands of years, Iranian fisheries along its southern shores have maintained a delicate balance between tradition, sustainability, and quality.

Unlike mass-market alternatives, Iranian caviar production is rooted in artisanal care. The waters of the southern Caspian are uniquely mineral-rich, providing the perfect environment for Beluga sturgeon to thrive naturally. This environment produces caviar with a deeper, more refined flavor — something that even the most seasoned experts can distinguish at first taste.

Why Iranian Beluga Caviar Is the World’s Finest

There are many varieties of caviar in the global market, but none match the reputation and sensory excellence of Iranian Beluga. The reasons are simple yet profound:

Authentic Origin: 100% sourced from the Caspian Sea, the natural home of the Beluga sturgeon.
Exceptional Grain Size: Larger, softer eggs compared to any other caviar species.
Flavor Depth: A perfect balance of buttery richness and subtle marine freshness.
Expert Processing: Each batch is hand-selected and minimally salted (Malossol), preserving the natural flavor.
Global Certification: All exports are regulated under CITES and HACCP, ensuring international compliance.

The result is a delicacy that defines luxury — trusted by Michelin-starred chefs, luxury hotels, and gourmet importers worldwide.

The Grading and Quality Standards

Iranian Beluga caviar is meticulously graded into categories that define its color, size, and flavor profile. Understanding these grades is crucial for professional buyers and distributors:

Imperial Beluga: Light to silver-grey pearls, extremely large, and delicately flavored — the rarest grade, reserved for the most discerning clients.
Royal Beluga: Medium-grey pearls with a buttery, complex profile. A balance of rarity and accessibility, perfect for luxury dining.
Classic Beluga: Darker grey tones with rich, oceanic notes — ideal for high-end restaurants and export partners.

Every tin of 9Caviar’s Beluga undergoes a multi-stage quality control process, guaranteeing consistency, freshness, and authenticity.

Harvesting and Processing – Precision and Purity

Producing world-class caviar requires more than access to the Caspian — it demands mastery. At 9Caviar’s partner farms, Beluga sturgeons are raised under natural conditions, mimicking their wild habitat.

Harvesting follows the highest ethical and sanitary standards:

The roe is carefully extracted at peak maturity.
Grains are gently rinsed with purified water to remove impurities.
Only the finest grains are selected for Malossol salting — a method using minimal salt to preserve natural flavor.
The caviar is then chilled, packed in vacuum-sealed tins, and stored under controlled temperatures to retain its pristine condition during export.

Each batch tells a story of precision — from farm to fork — ensuring international buyers receive nothing short of excellence.

Taste, Texture, and Appearance – A Symphony of Sensations

True connoisseurs recognize Iranian Beluga instantly. Its pearls are large, tender, and luminous, often glistening in shades of silver or slate. The taste begins with a gentle oceanic note, evolving into a creamy, buttery finish that lingers luxuriously on the palate.

The texture is unparalleled — soft yet resilient, bursting with smoothness. This sensory harmony is what makes Iranian Beluga the preferred choice of chefs serving royal banquets, five-star hotels, and exclusive clients worldwide.

How to Identify Genuine Iranian Beluga Caviar

As global demand rises, imitation products have flooded the market. Authentic Iranian Beluga can be identified through:

CITES Certification Number – verifying legal export origin.
Label Transparency – “Produced and Packed in Iran.”
Grain Size and Color – naturally larger, subtle grey tones.
Malossol Taste Profile – light salinity, buttery and clean finish.
Trusted Supplier – partnerships with certified exporters like 9Caviar.

Every tin from 9Caviar carries authenticity, traceability, and quality assurance.

Iranian Beluga vs Russian Beluga

While both Iranian and Russian Beluga caviars originate from the same species (Huso huso), their qualities differ due to environmental and processing factors.

Water Quality	Warmer, mineral-rich	Colder, less saline
Flavor	Creamy, buttery, mild oceanic	Sharper, more briny
Grain Size	Slightly larger	Slightly smaller
