DEMalossol caviar – low-sodium treat by Royal Caviar
At Royal Caviar, we understand that caviar is more than just an ‘ingredient’ – it is an experience, a glorious combination of tradition, craftsmanship and an incredible flavour sensation that goes far beyond the ordinary. Malossol caviar is truly the royalty of all caviar. The term ‘malossol” originally derived from the Russian for “little salt”. However, Malossol is not only a technical description, but a guarantee of culinary excellence.
But what are the characteristics of Malossol Caviar – and what makes this caviar so special?
Die Kunst des wenigen Salzes: Warum ist Malossol Kaviar so besonders?
The art of producing caviar has a long tradition at Royal Caviar. Our caviar masters see ‘Malossol’ as the ultimate form of caviar preparation.
Traditionally, caviar had to be treated with salt to achieve better shelf life of the sturgeon roe. The salt concentration varied depending on the season: in the winter months, caviar was salted less than in summer due to the cooler temperatures (keep in mind: We speak of a time when there was no refrigeration).
In addition to preserving the caviar, salting also affects the flavour and colour of the resulting caviar. As the osmotic properties of salt draw out the liquid from the roe, the resulting kernels become darker and their flavours can be intensified. On the other hand, the use of too much salt can camouflage and suppress the subtle inherent flavour of sturgeon caviar. The restrained use of just the right amout of salt enhances the flavour of the caviar and is known as “malossol”.

The word malossol (малосол) comes from Russian and literally means “lightly/lightly salted”. Malossol caviar is therefore not a type of caviar, but refers to sturgeon roe that is only minimally salted and has a salinity of no more than 2.8-4%. This manufacturing method achieves a fine balance between preserving the delicate structure and maintaining the natural flavour of the caviar.
Every step in the process is carried out with the utmost care to ensure the high quality of the product. Gentle preservation with just the right amount of sea salt allows each pearl to develop a unique symphony of pure flavours without being masked by saltiness. This enhances the natural feeling of freshness and melt-in-the-mouth flavour, making every single bite of malossol caviar a true feast for the senses.
The distinctive feature of Malossol caviar also lies in its dedication to tradition. The use of little salt is not only a culinary choice, but also a tribute to the artisanal skills that have been perfected by caviar masters over generations. This approach, coupled with state-of-the-art production technology, makes Royal Caviar’s Malossol caviar a timeless delicacy.
At Royal Caviar, we understand that the quality of an exquisite caviar depends on the choice of selected sturgeons.
