How Caviar Is Made In The Swiss Alps

Switzerland's first caviar, Oona, comes from farmed Siberian sturgeon in the Swiss Alps.

It's an unusual business venture for this region since the world's most well-known and sought-after caviar comes from sturgeon found in the Caspain Sea.

The Swiss have been able to produce caviar that rivals even Russian brands through a delicate process that involves employees in white aprons and latex gloves who meticulously hand-pick fish eggs.

In December 2011, a Reuters photographer visited the facility, known as the Tropenhaus Frutigen, during the first harvest.
