Golden Caviar

Albino sturgeon is a rare type of sturgeon that lacks pigmentation, which gives its eggs a distinct golden hue. The roe is harvested from mature female albino sturgeon that are at least ten years old. The most exclusive and expense example of this type of caviar is the coveted Almas from the albino Beluga. This is incredibly rare, and boasts a shimmering golden color and a flavor that’s light and delicate, making it a true one-of-a-kind caviar. This caviar gold is a treasure, and as such comes with a hefty price tag.

The taste is described as rich and buttery, with a slightly nutty flavor. It is typically served cold on a small spoon or on top of a blini with a dollop of crème fraîche. It pairs well with Champagne or other sparkling wines.

There are other types of fish roe that are dyed to mimic the golden color of albino sturgeon caviar, and these are often sold at a lower price point. One such example is "caviar gold," a product that is made by dyeing the roe of whitefish or paddlefish to give it a golden appearance. It’s significantly less expensive than true albino sturgeon eggs.

This is a marketing term for black sturgeon eggs. It is produced by sturgeon that are not albino and has a black color. The term caviar black gold is meant to convey that this is a “gold-standard” in caviar, a luxury product, rather than a description of its color. It was also refer to caviar that’s flaked with edible gold, sometimes found served at restaurants around the world as a luxury dish.

Red gold caviar is used to reference salmon roe, usually the Russian variety.

The price of gold caviar can vary widely, depending on several factors. The rarity of albino Almas sturgeon and the difficulty of harvesting its eggs make it one of the most expensive types of caviar available. A kilogram of beluga gold caviar can cost upwards of $30,000.

Some gold sturgeon eggs are usually more expensive than black sturgeon, while the gold-flaked varieties fetch higher prices due to the addition of edible gold flakes. Dyed caviars on the other hand are on the inexpensive end.
