About Yarra Valley Caviar
Yarra Valley Caviar is one of Australia's leading producers of premium freshwater Salmon and Trout Pearls and a respected name in sustainable aquaculture. 100% Family owned and operated, our export-approved facilities is in Victoria's picturesque Yarra Valley, where pristine alpine waterways provide the ideal environment for farming exceptional Atlantic Salmon and Rainbow Trout.
For more than two decades, we have been dedicated to producing premium Australian roe through responsible farming, ethical harvesting and uncompromising quality. As a vertically integrated business, every stage of production—from breeding and farming through to harvesting, processing, packing and distribution—is managed in-house, ensuring complete traceability and the highest standards of quality and food safety.
Our fish are raised in earthen ponds, with naturally flowing, gravity-fed river water under low stocking densities, creating an environment that promotes excellent fish welfare and produces roe of exceptional quality. Once each year, the roe is carefully hand-harvested using a natural clove oil anesthetic before the fish are gently returned to their ponds to continue growing and naturally produce roe again the following season. This sustainable approach reflects our commitment to responsible aquaculture and long-term environmental stewardship.
Harvested roe is gently cured using only premium salt, without artificial additives or preservatives, allowing the natural flavor, texture and vibrant colour of each pearl to shine. Every product is processed and packed on-site before being supplied to leading chefs, premium retailers, luxury hotels and discerning consumers throughout Australia and around the world.
Alongside our award-winning Australian salmon and trout roe, Yarra Valley Caviar is the exclusive Australian importer and distributor of premium black caviar from internationally renowned producers, including Esturión de Sarrión in Spain and Panchenko Caviar in Georgia, Baku Caviar from Azerbaijan and Caviar Colony from China and Singapore Imported directly from the sturgeon farms in their original retail packaging, each tin arrives exactly as packed by the producer, preserving the authenticity, provenance and quality intended at the source. To maintain peak freshness, all imported caviar is stored in our purpose-built caviar freezer at a constant -3°C—the optimum temperature for preserving flavor, texture and pearl integrity. This carefully controlled storage environment ensures every tin reaches our customers in the same exceptional condition as when it left the farm.
