The most expensive type of caviar in the world is Almas caviar , which comes from the rare albino Beluga sturgeon. It is renowned for its striking white-to-pale gold hue and creamy, delicate taste. Almas caviar can reach prices up to around $35,000 per kilogram (or approximately €37,000/kg), making it the priciest caviar globally
. Beluga caviar, from the Beluga sturgeon, is also extremely expensive and highly prized for its large, buttery eggs, with prices ranging from about $7,000 to $22,000 per kilogram depending on quality and origin
. However, Almas caviar surpasses Beluga in rarity and price. Other notable expensive caviar types include:
- Strottarga Bianco from Siberian Albino Sturgeon, costing over $113,000 per kilogram, which is exceptionally rare and mixed with 22-karat gold flakes
- Golden Imperial Russian Osetra and Beluga Hybrid caviar, priced around $6,000 to $9,000 per kilogram
In summary, while Beluga caviar is famously luxurious and costly, Almas caviar from albino Beluga sturgeon holds the title as the most expensive caviar worldwide due to its rarity, unique color, and exclusivity
