Traditional Ossetra & Royal Ossetra Bundle

Q: What is the difference between Traditional Ossetra and Royal Ossetra in this bundle?

{"type"=>"root", "children"=>[{"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Traditional Ossetra is standard-grade caviar from Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii - typically smaller pearls, slightly more variable in color, with a bold but less refined flavor profile.

The bundle allows a direct comparison between the two grades of the same species side by side."}]}]}
