About this tour

We trace our history back to 1954, when the first sturgeon breeding plant was built in Azerbaijan. It is located in the Neftchalinsky district in a nature reserve on the Caspian coast, and we still produce our products there. In Soviet times, our caviar was delivered to the Kremlin. Also, one of the most famous fans of our caviar was Sir Winston Churchill.
