Almaz means “diamond” in Persian - a name that reflects the extraordinary rarity of this exceptional caviar. Its pale ivory pearls come from rare albino sturgeon, with only limited quantities available worldwide each year. Unlike ordinary luxury products, Almaz is not simply selected from a shelf - it is carefully allocated to those seeking one of the world’s most exclusive caviar experiences.
Key Takeaways
- Almaz Diamond comes from very old albino sturgeon, typically 60 years and older
- The pearls are pale ivory to gold, almost translucent
- Flavour is extraordinarily mild and creamy, with a dessert-like finish
What Makes Almas Different
Albinism in sturgeon is vanishingly rare to begin with. An albino female then has to survive six decades or more before her roe develops the colour and finish that defines Almaz Diamond. Multiply one rarity by another and you get a product measured in single tins, not production runs.
Age does something flavour-wise that younger caviar cannot copy: the salt softens, the cream lengthens, and the finish keeps going long after the pearls have melted. People who taste it tend to describe it in dessert terms rather than seafood terms.
The Nearest Step Down
If the appeal is the golden colour and the gentle, creamy profile rather than the collector's label, the Almaz Diamond Caviar delivers exactly that: hand-graded, mirror-clear golden pearls with a soft mother-of-pearl shimmer and a buttery, lingering finish, stunning on a spoon and photogenic on a table. Our guide to the world's most expensive caviar puts the whole top tier in context.
For everything below the stratosphere, the caviar collection ships across the UK in 24-48 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Almaz Diamond caviar so expensive?
Two rarities multiply: albino sturgeon are genetically scarce, and the roe only reaches Almaz Diamond character after roughly 60 years of age. Annual worldwide supply is tiny, so pricing follows allocation, not volume.
What does Almaz Diamond taste like?
Remarkably mild, creamy and long. The salt is quieter than in any other grade, and the finish is often compared to white chocolate or fresh cream rather than the sea.
