Calvisius Caviar

Since the late 1970s, Calvisius has set the gold standard in sustainability and superior taste for farmed caviar, from its 150 acres of sustainable aquaculture pools. Their farm is located in Calvisano, between Milan and Venice, and in the Ticino Park, closer to Varese, also in Northern Italy. Italy’s mountain spring water and the care and time, tracing the life cycle of every sturgeon, results in various types of excellent caviar. Innovations and the latest technologies assure the highest levels of environmental safety standards.

 
Calvisius was one of the first companies in the world to create a large scale sturgeon farm in the 1970s: to date it is, in fact, the most cutting edge farm with respect to the know-how for the production of caviar and the strictest sustainable practices. Calvisius produces the largest variety of caviars in the world and is an industry benchmark in terms of farming standards, quality and quantity of the caviar produced. Their state-of-the-art sustainable practices include replenishing rivers worldwide with previously endangered stocks as Calvisius specializes in cultivating pure sturgeon breeds. 

 

AN INHERENTLY UNIQUE PROCESS
One of the main reasons behind the quality of its caviar is the fresh spring water in which sturgeons are raised, making the resulting caviar superior even compared to its wild counterpart. Moreover, the highly-methodical process employed allows us to extract the eggs at the right time, when they are perfectly ripe. Calvisius, in fact, knows that the value of time is ultimately the main ingredient for producing excellent caviar. It can in fact take up to 22 years to produce high-quality caviar, depending on the sturgeon species.

 

Calvisius is Friend of the Sea certified Sustainable.
