French Caviar Production Methods
French caviar production combines tradition, innovation, and environmental respect. France is now the leading caviar producer in Europe thanks to artisanal methods and a strong focus on quality.
French caviar mainly comes from Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) or Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii). Sturgeons are raised in aquaculture farms, often in basins or ponds fed by high-quality water from natural springs or rivers.
During production, animal welfare and natural water resource preservation are essential. Sturgeons are monitored throughout their life cycle, especially during egg-laying, to ensure top quality.
