Baerii Royal, German
Acipenser baerii
Germany·Germany·Premium
A step up in bead size and maturation from entry Baerii. German precision aquaculture shows in the consistency; the royal grade pushes the nuttiness toward a longer, more structured finish. Quietly excellent and underappreciated.

Refined enough to taste on its own first. A plain first spoonful before moving to blini reveals the clean nutty length.
