Caviar de Neuvic, a pioneer in sustainable caviar production on a global scale, strengthens its commitment to environmental and social responsibility, confirmed by the Friend of the Sea certification obtained in 2023. This recognition is not just a mark of quality but a testament to the company’s ongoing dedication to responsible aquaculture practices.
A Model of Certified Sustainability
The Friend of the Sea certification represents one of the most authoritative international standards in sustainable fishing and aquaculture. Caviar de Neuvic achieved this recognition thanks to the excellence of its production processes, the exclusive use of renewable resources, and the responsible management of its “Domaine,” located in a unique natural setting in the heart of France.
Exceptional Products
Among the flagship certified products are:
● Baeri Signature Caviar: This exquisite caviar comes from Acipenser Baeri sturgeons, raised in the pure waters of the Dordogne. The sturgeons grow under optimal conditions, characterised by constantly renewed and monitored water, exclusively organic feed, low farming density, and minimal handling of the fish.
● Osciètre Signature Caviar: Produced from the Gueldenstaedtii sturgeon, a species native to the Caspian Sea, this caviar represents the pinnacle of sustainable aquaculture. The sturgeons are farmed using innovative methods that respect their natural cycles, with particular attention to water quality and living spaces.
● Smoked Sturgeon: A niche product made exclusively from the finest fillets of sturgeons raised on the estate. The fillets undergo a meticulous artisanal process, hand-salted and smoked with carefully selected beechwood.
Beyond Certification: The B Corp Journey
Caviar de Neuvic has reached a historic milestone by becoming the world’s first caviar producer to achieve B Corp certification. This recognition highlights the company’s holistic approach, integrating social, economic, and environmental goals into every aspect of production.

The core values of Caviar de Neuvic – excellence, respect, and innovation – are translated into concrete actions. Caviar de Neuvic uses 100% renewable resources, reduces environmental impact, and supports sturgeon conservation projects through the WSCS (World Sturgeon Conservation Society).
