Hackleback is one of the true sturgeons, giving its eggs all the highly praised qualities of true sturgeon roe: nuttiness, a buttery flavor, a creamy texture. The eggs are smaller than those of Sevruga caviar and range in color from dark gray to jet black. The envelope is soft and glossy. The eggs pop in your mouth at the lightest pressure of the tongue. Hackleback caviar is renowned among connoisseurs for its rich and intense nutty taste. Its popularity has made it the number one choice for many highly-rated chefs. * Tasting Notes: Sweet ocean flavor, hints of nut. Smooth, buttery finish. * Size: Small to Medium Sized. * Color: Rich charcoal black colored pearls with hints of seaweed beads.
