The Essence of PanCaviar: Georgia's Sturgeon Sanctuary

The Essence of PanCaviar: Georgia's Sturgeon Sanctuary

Founded on Purity

Founded in 2008, PanCaviar Sturgeon Farm has grown into one of the most respected names in aquaculture and premium caviar production. With a focus on sustainability, natural practices, and unmatched product quality, PanCaviar stands apart from the large-scale aqua farms that dominate the market. The company's mission is ambitious yet deeply human: to help every person become a healthy long-liver.

Two Complexes, One Philosophy

PanCaviar operates two aquaculture complexes across the Georgian Caucasus, together spanning over 220 hectares of pristine land, relying exclusively on flowing river water rather than recirculating systems.

The first complex is located in the Kakheti region, in the village of Hashmi, next to Tbilisi National Park and just 17 kilometers from Tbilisi. Covering 160 hectares, this facility focuses on breeding sturgeon and other warm-water fish species, and is home to one of the world's largest high-performance sturgeon broodstocks, raised in natural conditions in the crystal-clear waters of the Iori River.

The second complex sits in the Imereti region, Tskaltubo Municipality, in the village of Geguti, within the Kolkheti Valley—on a naturally formed island in the Rioni River. Covering 62 hectares, this site is dedicated to the restoration and reproduction of endangered sturgeon species, alongside the production of premium-quality natural black caviar, including through the humane milking method.

Purity in Every Pearl

At PanCaviar, quality starts at the source. The fish are raised in flowing river water and fed biologically pure, extruded feed certified to the highest global standards. No hormones, growth stimulants, antibiotics, preservatives, emulsifiers, or stabilizers are ever used—ensuring that every bite of caviar is as close to nature as possible.

Unlike some large-scale producers, PanCaviar uses only the permitted amount of salt during processing and follows strict veterinary and sanitary controls for every batch. To guarantee consistent safety and quality, the company has implemented comprehensive product safety standards in accordance with ISO 22000:2018, revalidated through multiple independent certification audits.

A Humane Harvest

What truly sets PanCaviar apart is how the caviar is harvested. Rather than the industry-standard practice of sacrificing the fish, PanCaviar uses "milking"—a humane method that allows sturgeon to continue living and producing roe for years to come. It's a slower, more deliberate approach, but one that reflects the company's core belief: caring for the fish produces a better, more honest product.

"Egg to Egg" – A Closed Production Cycle

From the healthiest broodstock, reproductive cells are gently collected, and fertilization takes place in carefully controlled conditions. The offspring are then raised either for caviar production or to replenish the breeding population, helping sustain the global sturgeon population for future generations.

Taste Shaped by Water

PanCaviar's Siberian sturgeon caviar is often described as the truest expression of naturalness available today. Raised in pure mountain water, free from additives, the caviar develops without any of the "fishy" notes found in lower-quality roe. Instead, tasters find delicate nutty and truffle-like undertones—a flavor shaped entirely by the purity of its environment.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

We're proud to bring you caviar from this remarkable farm through our partnership with Panchenko Caviar House, offering access to caviar grown on one of the purest sturgeon farms in Georgia.
