Real Caviar - Creating "the culture of caviar"
WHAT IS CAVIAR?
It is the roe of the sturgeon fish, a species native to the rivers and lakes of Eastern Europe and
Central Asia.
There are more than 25 varieties of sturgeon and they are 150 million years old.
The sturgeon is an anadromous species, meaning it lives partly in salt water and migrates to fresh water to reproduce.
The most valued varieties of caviar are Beluga Sturgeon, Osetra and Sevruga.
The best caviar is from sturgeon farmed in the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan, Iran and Russia (countries of the former USSR).
