Beluga caviar is a luxury topping and food but is it the best type of caviar there is?
Here is the answer to this question.
What Is Beluga Caviar?
Beluga caviar is one of the rarest and most expensive caviars served around the world.
The high demand for beluga caviar and centuries of imports and exports of this fine delicacy resulted in beluga sturgeon being categorized as an endangered species.
Iran’s Caspian Sea is the favorite habitat of beluga sturgeon fish.
The most accurate way to characterize the taste of Beluga caviar is to say that it is buttery, creamy, and has a hint of nuttiness along with a salty aftertaste.
It does not have the same level of complexity as Ossetra, nor does it have the same level of creaminess as Siberian, but it is consistently mild, smooth, and excellent.
What are The Best Types of Caviar?
Beluga caviar is highly regarded as being the highest quality caviar across the globe.
But since beluga fish is an endangered species, it is illegal to serve beluga caviar in many countries, namely the US.
Other candidates for the best caviar are Ossetra and Kaluga Huso.
Ossetra Caviar is among the most acclaimed caviar in the world.
It is renowned for its excellent taste, which is described as having a nutty quality, as well as its firm and juicy grains.
The Huso Dauricus hybrid is a rare cross-breeding that has produced Kaluga Huso caviar, a rising star in the world of caviar.
Huso Dauricus is a close cousin of the legendary Beluga fish, Huso Huso.
How is Caviar Served?
To do justice, experts insist that high-quality caviar must be served alone and at very low temperatures.
The fine delicacy food should also be served in a bowl that is not made of metal, kept in waiting to be served above a bed of crushed ice.
All these precautions are recommended to prevent any off-putting metallic flavor in the luxurious and expensive caviar you have bought.
Therefore, when selecting serving pieces, you should always use glass or bone; alternatively, you may use mother of pearl for a very refined bite.
