MOTTRA Caviar is the world's first sustainable caviar. They harvest the caviar without killing the sturgeon. Using modern technology and special sturgeon caviar farming techniques, the caviar is gently massaged out of the fish once it is about five years of age. The fish is then put back into the Mottra pools in Riga, Latvia where the sturgeon continues to grow and starts the next process of caviar production.
MOTTRA’s caviar is ethical. Sturgeon is milked or ‘stripped’ of their eggs once harvested rather than being culled or performing a cesarean section.
MOTTRA’s caviar is sustainable. Fish eggs come from own sturgeon. Due to the ethical spawning sturgeon breed all its productive life. The fish are not wasted.
