Marky's American Hackleback Caviar Gift Pack (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus, wild-caught) – 1 oz (28 g) of pasteurized black caviar from the USA, with a Mother of Pearl spoon, by Marky's.

The American Hackleback sturgeon, also known as the Shovelnose sturgeon, thrives along the sandy bottoms of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio rivers and delta systems. Smaller than other sturgeons, it offers caviar prized for its accessibility and unique flavor.

The small to medium eggs of Hackleback caviar typically showcase deep, glossy black to dark brown hues and a distinctive flavor of subtle, earthy nuttiness with hints of sweetness and a touch of the sea, alongside a satisfying pop and a delicate, smooth texture.

Safely sealed within a plastic blister pack, this gift set includes a 1 oz (28 g) glass jar of pasteurized American Hackleback caviar and a Mother of Pearl spoon to ensure a pure, unaltered tasting experience.

Carefully pasteurized using best practices, this caviar is safe to enjoy for those advised to avoid consuming raw foods, including young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems.

Please be aware:

• If you need your pasteurized caviar by a specific date, we strongly recommend scheduling its delivery at least 4-6 days in advance to avoid potential shipping delays. When kept refrigerated below 38 °F (3.3 °C), unopened pasteurized caviar has up to a 9 month shelf life. Once opened, it's best to consume it within 3 days.
• Pasteurization slightly affects the appearance and consistency of caviar, resulting in a longer shelf life and a generally darker appearance, firmer texture, and slightly reduced flavor intensity compared to the same unpasteurized caviar.
