Beluga XXL Special Reserve is selected from mature Huso huso sturgeon for pearls measuring 4.5 to 5.5 millimetres. Their light pearl-grey to platinum sheen gives the grade its distinctive scale and presence.
Raised in certified aquaculture facilities in Belgium and China, the sturgeon mature for twenty years or more. Each batch yields only a small quantity suitable for the XXL grade, and the pearls are selected by hand.
The first taste is clean and marine, followed by sweet cream, gentle iodine and delicate nuttiness. The texture is soft yet structured, releasing slowly before a long, polished finish.
Explore the Beluga collection to compare grades, then choose the tin size around the number of guests. Serve well chilled and taste the first spoonful on its own.
For a classic service, pair it with warm blinis, lightly buttered new potatoes or crème fraîche. Use a mother-of-pearl spoon to keep the flavour clean. Vintage Champagne or iced vodka suits its precise marine finish.
Keep refrigerated between 0°C and 4°C. Once opened, reseal and enjoy within 24 to 48 hours.

Description
Description
Velvety, rich and exceptionally refined, with delicate sweet-cream notes, pristine marine depth and a silken, lingering finish. The grandest and most exclusive expression of Beluga.
Beluga XXL Special Reserve is the grandest expression of Huso huso. The rarest and largest sturgeon, and the only carnivore of its species. The XXL grade is reserved for fish at the very upper limit of their growth, where the pearls reach an extraordinary size and the colour deepens to a luminous platinum.
Compare this grade with Beluga Reserve in our Beluga caviar guide.
Each pearl is extra-large and firm, between 4.5 and 5.5 millimetres, with a luminous light pearl grey to platinum sheen. The fish is raised in certified aquaculture in Belgium and China, and grows for twenty years and beyond. The yield from each batch is very small, and selection is entirely by hand.
On the spoon, Beluga XXL opens with a commanding marine presence and a quiet iodised lift. The mid-palate brings exquisite silkiness, buttery depth and a delicate nuttiness. The finish is long and polished, with elegant marine salinity. The pearl is melting yet structured, releasing slowly and unfolding on the palate.
Within the BELEAEV collection, Beluga XXL Special Reserve is the rarest and most monumental grade. Choose it when scale matters as much as flavour, when the size of the pearl is part of the moment, and when the most discerning guest will recognise the difference at first glance.
