Over 40 years of passion and expert craftsmanship have shaped Calvisius and Ars Italica into industry leaders for both environmental methods and the production of premium-quality caviar. The sturgeon flourish in two farms in northern Italy: Calvisano, between Milan and Venice (close to Lake Garda), and Cassolnovo, in the Ticino Park, for a total of 150 acres of freshwater ponds fed by pristine, natural water, thriving in an environment that is as close as possible to their natural habitat. All caviars are processed at the headquarters in Calvisano. Calvisius was one of the first companies in the world to create a large scale sturgeon farm: to date it is, in fact, the most cutting edge farm with respect to the know-how for the production of caviar of the highest quality. Calvisius produces the largest variety of caviars in the world and is an industry benchmark in terms of farming standards, quality and quantity of the caviar produced. Our state-of-the-art sustainable practices include replenishing rivers worldwide with previously endangered stocks as Calvisius specializes in raising pure sturgeon breeds. We pride ourselves for bringing to the American market: - Full traceability: our caviars come straight from the source; - Species identification: only pure species are offered in our lineup; - Freshness: no pasteurization nor processing is applied to our caviars; true Malossol recipe, cured with a <3.5% salt content;
