Farms and Production
The farms
Our five farms lie across Lombardy, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, in areas of extraordinary environmental richness. One of them is set within the Parco del Mincio, a protected natural area dedicated to safeguarding river flora and fauna.
Each farm has unique characteristics: the quality of its waters, its biodiversity and the different sturgeon species that allow us to create distinctive Caviar Crus, an authentic expression of the land and of our production philosophy.
More than 30 hectares immersed in nature, managed in full respect of the ecosystem and fed by fresh, unspoiled waters: this is where every sturgeon is raised with the greatest care, following each stage of its growth, from egg to fry to adult specimen.
Every specimen is able to live a long life, following the natural rhythms of its species. Its growth is followed with attention and patience, without ever being forced. For our Beluga we wait more than 20 years, until perfect maturation is reached, an essential condition for obtaining caviar of extraordinary quality.
THE VALUE OF DIRECT CONTROL
The supply chain
Our company directly oversees every stage of the supply chain, from farming to final production. Everything begins in our sturgeon farms, the fruit of more than 50 years of experience of the Bettinazzi family, fish farmers for 3 generations and a point of reference in the Italian aquaculture sector.
Our production
experience, sensitivity and research
Once the finest sturgeon specimens have been carefully raised, we move on to the most delicate and fascinating stage: the production of the caviar. It is here that our team’s twenty years of experience becomes an art, giving life to different caviar selections processed according to the Malossol technique, characterised by a reduced amount of salt so as to bring out to the fullest the authentic, elegant and natural taste of a great caviar.
At our facility in Bovolone, in the province of Verona, every stage of production is followed with absolute attention and artisanal precision. The precious pearls are analysed, selected, tested and processed with the utmost care, so that each one receives the ideal salting and the correct ageing period.
It is a process made of experience, sensitivity and the continuous pursuit of perfection, which allows us to create a caviar of absolute quality, an authentic expression of Italian excellence.
