Enjoyment, Swissness, and Lifestyle: From the alpi­ne moun­tain world emer­ges a deli­ca­cy that unites craft­sman­ship, qua­li­ty, and tra­di­ti­on. Oona Caviar is the first and only Swiss cavi­ar – har­ve­sted from stur­ge­on rai­sed in the pure moun­tain spring water of the Kander Valley. Born from the uti­lizati­on of the warm Lötschberg moun­tain spring water, Oona stands for authen­tic enjoy­ment: sus­tain­ab­ly, natu­ral­ly, and pro­du­ced with the finest craftsmanship.

Bianchi Takes a Look. Together with Oona Caviar, we have deve­lo­ped our own Bianchi x Oona Caviar. What we par­ti­cu­lar­ly value in our part­ner­ships is the clo­sen­ess and per­so­nal exch­an­ge – espe­ci­al­ly when crea­ting some­thing new together.

During our visit to the Oona head­quar­ters in Frutigen, it beca­me clear once again how much dedi­ca­ti­on, expe­ri­ence, and craft­sman­ship go into the pro­duc­tion of Swiss Alpine Caviar – from fish far­ming to the final refinement.

Sustainability and ani­mal wel­fa­re are top prio­ri­ties in fish far­ming. The inter­play of Lötschberg spring water and modern recir­cula­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy makes cul­ti­va­ti­on par­ti­cu­lar­ly resour­ce-effi­ci­ent: the water is repro­ces­sed and only a small por­ti­on is repla­ced by fresh spring water. The stur­ge­on grow in con­stant­ly tem­pe­red spring water, which is con­ti­nuous­ly puri­fi­ed by high-per­for­mance fil­ter systems, thus ensu­ring excep­tio­nal­ly high water quality.

The Taste of Swiss Caviar. The focus of pro­duc­tion is con­sist­ent­ly on fresh­ness and puri­ty. Oona Caviar is pro­du­ced wit­hout any addi­ti­ves or pre­ser­va­ti­ves – and, as one of the few pro­du­cers world­wi­de, is pro­ces­sed enti­re­ly wit­hout borax. The result is a cavi­ar with a deli­ca­te skin, fine grain, and ten­der con­si­sten­cy, who­se nut­ty aro­ma unfolds harmoniously.

The Siberian stur­ge­on bred in Frutigen is an impres­si­ve living fos­sil – and at the same time the heart of Oona Caviar. It takes 7 to 12 years for a stur­ge­on to yield the finest cavi­ar – years full of pati­ence, care, and experience.

While many of the 26 stur­ge­on spe­ci­es world­wi­de are threa­ten­ed by over­fi­shing and destroy­ed habi­tats, Oona focu­ses on sus­tainable far­ming and spe­ci­es pro­tec­tion. The fish farm in the Kander Valley is con­side­red a pio­nee­ring achie­ve­ment and demon­stra­tes that respon­si­ble hus­bandry and culina­ry luxu­ry can go hand in hand.

«Our cavi­ar is distin­gu­is­hed by its fresh­ness and unmist­aka­ble taste; it has a deli­ca­te con­si­sten­cy, a nut­ty aro­ma, and con­ta­ins no pre­ser­va­ti­ves! Pure. Natural. Sustainable. That is OONA!“»
