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.

Texture: Melting

Aromatic notes: Powerful and iodised

Flavour profile: Exquisitely silky and buttery, with delicate nuttiness, elegant marine salinity and a long polished finish

Perfect Pairings: Serve well chilled and enjoy first on its own to appreciate its full scale and refinement. For a classic service, pair with warm blinis, lightly buttered new potatoes, or crème fraîche. Match with vintage Champagne or ultra-premium iced vodka.
