The Fall of Wild Caviar and the Rise of Sustainable Caviar: Conzept Caviar's Legacy

The Fall of Wild Caviar and the Rise of Sustainable Caviar: Conzept Caviar's Legacy

Wild sturgeon once flourished in the Caspian and Black Seas, their roe prized as a delicacy for centuries. However, by the late 20th century, overfishing and habitat destruction had pushed these ancient species to the brink of extinction. Recognizing this crisis, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) imposed strict regulations on wild caviar trade in 1998.

By 2008, the situation had worsened, leading to the suspension of most wild caviar exports worldwide. This marked the end of an era—and the beginning of a movement toward sustainability in the caviar industry.


The Rise of Ethical Aquaculture: A New Standard of Excellence

In response to the wild caviar ban, pioneering farms like Caviar Giaveri emerged as leaders in ethical aquaculture. By replicating natural habitats and adopting sustainable practices, they revolutionized the industry while preserving sturgeon species for future generations.

At Conzept Caviar, based in Geneva and Zurich, we proudly partner with farms like Caviar Giaveri. Their dedication to sustainability aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering the finest sustainable caviar across Switzerland.


Why Non-Killing Techniques Fell Short

While non-killing techniques promised a humane alternative, they have not proven economically viable. These methods often lead to inconsistent quality and logistical challenges, making them unsustainable for large-scale production. Instead, ethical farming practices, such as those at Caviar Giaveri, balance sustainability with exceptional quality, ensuring caviar that meets our high standards.


Conzept Caviar: Curating Excellence from Geneva to Zurich

At Conzept Caviar, we pride ourselves on being more than just suppliers—we are curators. Selecting high-quality caviar is both a science and an art. Like fine wine, caviar quality can vary from year to year due to environmental conditions. By partnering with trusted producers like Caviar Giaveri, we ensure a consistent product that meets the expectations of our clients in Geneva, Zurich, and across Switzerland.
