Antonius Caviar: Crafting the world’s finest caviar

In an era where global flavours intertwine, the culinary landscapes of Thailand and Poland present a rich tapestry of tradition, innovation, and cultural exchange.
Poland has long been celebrated for its exceptional caviar production, and now the finest caviar – Antonius Caviar – is available in Thailand. Join us as we delve into the meticulous journey of crafting this fine delicacy.
 
 
Legacy of excellence
 
Antonius Caviar is a family-owned Polish company that has made its mark as Europe’s largest and the world’s second-largest producer of caviar. What sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to sustainable sturgeon breeding and meticulous production practices that elevate their caviar to unparalleled heights.

 
Sustainable practices
 
Antonius Caviar is one of the few companies that produce caviar exclusively from sturgeon from their own breeding farms. Antonius Caviar’s farming approach closely replicates the sturgeon’s natural habitat. Their farming methods mimic the sturgeons’ natural habitat, utilising only pristine, free-flowing waters from the purest sources, along with the highest quality feed and constant care to ensure optimal living conditions for the sturgeons. This focus is vital, as the quality of the eggs depends on the sturgeon’s living conditions.
 

The sturgeons, overseen by experienced ichthyologists, are allowed to develop at their natural pace, without any artificial growth stimulation. Each sturgeon receives constant care and each breeding parameter is monitored 24 hours a day. Ichthyologists relocate them to different farms to accommodate their needs at each life stage, ensuring optimal living conditions with suitable climate and water flow. After a nurturing process that lasts at least 8 years –sometimes up to 18 – these sturgeons yield the exquisite caviar that connoisseurs crave.
Antonius Caviar operates four farms in eight locations, each utilising open systems that draw from Poland's purest, free-flowing waters. One notable farm is located in the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve of Bory Tucholskie, while another is situated in the region known as the Green Lungs of Poland, featuring one of the most advanced caviar processing facilities in the world.

 
Taste of excellence
 
Three types of caviar are offered by Antonius Caviar:
 
Oscietra: Sourced from the Russian sturgeon species. Its taste is distinguished by the surprising notes of walnut with a buttery finish. It features large grains, ranging in size from 2.7 to 3.5mm, with colours varying from grey to olive, brown and gold. This delicacy is esteemed by connoisseurs and renowned chefs worldwide.
 

Siberian: Produced from Siberian sturgeon, this variety is distinguished by its pronounced flavour and long, powerful finish. The grain ranges in size from 2.4 to 3.2mm and varies in colour from black to grey, with shades of brown and olive. It is popular among connoisseurs of classic, rich caviar with a bold taste. 
 
Albino: This exceptionally rare caviar is produced from Bester, a hybrid of the beluga and sterlet. The grains, reaching up to 2.7 mm in size, captivate with their buttery-yellow roe colour and remarkably creamy texture, making it a sought-after delicacy for discerning palates.

Meticulous processing
 
The processing plant is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to guarantee the highest quality product. The air is purified 10 times an hour, and temperatures are maintained at a cool 12 degrees Celsius. Sanitation standards are akin to those in hospitals, with fully sterilised equipment and an extensive disinfection protocol.
Every step of production – washing, drying, salting, and packaging – follows stringent protocols. A specialised team of ichthyologists, microbiologists, and food technologists ensures the highest hygiene standards throughout the process. Given that any error could jeopardise the final product's quality, qualified personnel conduct quality assessments for each batch to guarantee its standards before shipment.

 
More than just a luxury
