The Harmony of Nature and Craftsmanship: Esturion de Sarrion Farm

Nestled in the breathtaking mountains of Aragon, Spain, Esturion de Sarrion Farm is a testament to the perfect blend of nature and human ingenuity. This pioneering facility stands out as the first and only sturgeon farm in Europe to cultivate these magnificent fish in running water, under conditions that closely mirror their natural habitats. Here, we explore the farm’s unique environment and its commitment to producing the highest quality caviar.

 

A Vision Realized

 

In the winter of 2014, the journey began with a newspaper announcement about leasing an old trout farm near Sarrion Township. This farm had been dormant for nearly 15 years, but with a vision to create a sanctuary for sturgeon, our team embarked on a comprehensive reconstruction project. The transformation involved upgrading hydro stations, installing warm water pipelines and pumps, and implementing a state-of-the-art water treatment system.

 

With meticulous attention to detail, we built protective systems, oxygen stations, freezers, and various workshops, including a vegetation workshop and packaging facilities. Additionally, we created a wintering zone with water temperatures maintained at a precise +3 degrees. These enhancements enabled us to replicate the seasonal temperature variations found in the wild, as well as flow rates that mimic natural river currents.

 

Nature’s Ideal Breeding Ground

 

The Esturion de Sarrion Farm is strategically located at the confluence of three rivers—the cold Albentos and Mijares, which maintain temperatures between +13 and +17°C, and the warm underground Orcajo, which remains at a consistent +20 to +22°C year-round. This unique mix of water sources, each contributing distinct thermal properties, creates an optimal environment for sturgeon breeding.

 

The pure, mineral-rich waters of these rivers infuse the sturgeon with essential elements that enhance the natural taste of our black caviar. By harnessing these resources, we ensure not only the health and vitality of the fish but also the superior flavor profile that distinguishes our caviar from the rest.

 

Commitment to Quality

 

At Esturion de Sarrion, we take pride in our commitment to sustainability and quality. Our farm’s practices are designed to align with the rhythms of nature, fostering an ecosystem that nurtures the sturgeon while producing caviar of unparalleled quality. Our methods prioritize environmental stewardship, ensuring that the delicate balance of the ecosystem is maintained while we cultivate one of the most sought-after delicacies in the world.

 

Every aspect of our farm, from the advanced water treatment systems to the seasonal management of the sturgeon, is geared towards producing caviar that reflects the unique terroir of Aragon. The result is a product that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of connoisseurs around the globe.
