Beluga Hybrid

A Beluga × Siberian cross that captures most of the Beluga softness with a slightly firmer membrane. Creamy and large-beaded, with a buttery finish and just enough structure to reward contemplation. European-farmed and fully legal everywhere.

Soft and creamy enough to sit on a warm blini for a special table. The slight firmness of the hybrid holds up better than pure Beluga when paired with accompaniments.
