Acadian Emerald Caviar
from $90.00Acadian Emerald Caviar (former Acadian Green rebranded) is an exclusive shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) caviar farmed landbased in New Brunswick, Canada. Shortnose sturgeon is native in Saint John River, New Brunswick, Canada, one of the rarest sturgeon species, and we developed a land based aquaculture for the last 10 years, based on a captive broodstock. Shortnose sturgeon only grows up to 4.5 feet and about 40 pounds maximum. It produced eggs starting at 6-8 years and the caviar is similar to ossetra both as color and taste. It is also one of the most variable sturgeon species on Earth, having 12 sets of chromozomes (12n) which gives this species a higher than normal resistance to diseases and a variety of 2 types of caviar - see Acadian Gold Caviar too. Sturgeon are processed, nose to tail, in the state-of-the-art Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspected processing plant in Carters Point, New Brunswick. Our Caviars are produced using the standardized malassol (low salt) technique. The caviar is delivered to your door by FedEx overnight in maximum 48 hours from placing your order in a plastic recyclable insulated box (no Styrofoam!) and caviar being packed on a innovative gel pack that extends the shelflife! You can just place the black chilled gel pack with the caviar on a serving plate and enjoy fully with your guests or family! One of the best gourmet experience is to try all 3 caviar we produce together and compare! They are all amazing, this is why we price them the same, we cannot choose between them!

Acadian Sturgeon and Caviar Inc was incorporated in March 2005, with the aim of producing sturgeon and caviar from the two local Canadian East Coast sturgeon species: Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon. Since 2008 we are processing wild Atlantic sturgeon meat and caviar in a new state of the art CFIA inspected processing plant in Carters Point, NB. Wild sturgeon fishery is certified sustainable by Ocean Wise Life. The Acadian Wild Caviar from wild Atlantic sturgeon is nowadays the only wild, legal and sustainable caviar harvested in the world. Beside caviar we also produce all the sturgeon products and by-products: smoked sturgeon, loins, fillets, cartilage and bone marrow, skins, heads etc. Since 2016 the company is also harvesting from our own growout farm in Charlo, NB shortnose sturgeon and caviar produced in a flow through, gravity fed land-based farm. Two types of world unique farmed caviar are produced here – Acadian Gold and Acadian Green, similar in size and colour with ossetra. We are also raising Atlantic sturgeon but the caviar from this species should be available in 5-7 years from now. We also export live sturgeon for restocking, aquaculture and research in countries around the world. Acadian Sturgeon strategy of producing side by side both wild and farmed caviar and sturgeon is unique in the world and an example of real sustainability and responsible production.
