Napa Pearls has sourced and raised their own California-farmed white sturgeon for the past decade. Their white sturgeon descends from wild Sacramento River stock through a breeding program advised by the University of California at Davis and the Department of Fish and Game. They are raised in ponds in the Sacramento Delta region of California from the time they are spawned through maturity at 8 years, when they measure about 6 feet in length and weigh in excess of 100 pounds.This process results in sustainably-raised sh with wild origins.
In recent years, Napa Pearls invested in their own sturgeon farm in order to ensure consistent standards of quality and sustainability. Immediately after extracting the roe from the sh, the eggs are separated from each other, then cleaned, salted and stored at below- freezing temperatures for at least six months. During this time, the caviar develops its subtle, clean, nutty flavor.Dark golden grey in color, medium sized egg, medium texture, nutty, shy and finishes with a light bitter note.
