The price of caviar varies widely depending on the type of sturgeon, quality, origin, and production method. Here are some key price ranges and examples:
- Beluga caviar , one of the most expensive types, can cost around €4,300 per kilogram (€390 per 100g) or about $200 per ounce ($7,500+ per kilogram)
- Baeri Selection caviar is more affordable, around €1,656 per kilogram or €35 for 20g
- Almas caviar , the rarest and most expensive, can reach up to €37,000 per kilogram ($35,000+ per kilogram)
- Other types like Ossetra and Kaluga range roughly from $80 to $110 per ounce ($2,400 to $3,500 per kilogram)
- More common or farmed caviars like Siberian sturgeon or Canadian caviar are around $60+ per ounce ($2,000+ per kilogram)
- Red caviar from salmon species is much cheaper, typically £7.50 to £15.00 per 100g (about $10 to $20 per 100g)
Caviar is usually sold by weight in tins from 20g to 500g, and prices fluctuate based on market conditions, rarity, and quality grading. Wild caviar is far more expensive and rare due to international protections, so most caviar on the market is farmed
. In summary, expect to pay anywhere from around $60 per ounce for common farmed varieties up to tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram for the rarest, like Almas caviar
