Beluga caviar comes from the roe of the beluga sturgeon, which is at risk due to overfishing caused by market demand. It is served on its own and has a mild flavor with deep black, pea-sized eggs. Its price ranges from $7,000 to $10,000 for two pounds.
Beluga caviar is a delicacy that comes from the beluga sturgeon, which is also sometimes referred to as the “European sturgeon”. Caviar comes from the roe, or roe, that are laid by female beluga sturgeons. The fish are most commonly found in the Caspian and Black Sea basins. They are also sometimes found in the Adriatic.
Unfortunately, beluga sturgeon has been overfished and is at risk. One of the main reasons for this overfishing is the market demand for beluga caviar. In fact, the beluga sturgeon is currently listed as “threatened” in the “critically endangered” sub-category on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Threatened Species List. In hopes of allowing the fish to recover, some countries have banned the importation of this caviar. In some cases, these bans have been lifted or partially lifted.
The value of beluga caviar is amazing. The price for just two pounds (about 1 kilogram) can range between $7,000 USD (US dollars) and $10,000 USD. The cost, of course, depends on the supply and how difficult the caviar is to get hold of, as well as the distance between where the caviar was harvested and its final outlet. Despite the bans and partial bans on this type of caviar, some caviar connoisseurs have found ways to acquire the delicacy.
Like most types of caviar, beluga caviar is served with a non-metallic spoon. Common materials for caviar spoons include bone and mother of pearl. This is because a metal spoon is said to transfer a metallic taste to the caviar, which has a very mild flavour. Some caviar is served as a side dish. Beluga caviar, on the other hand, is served on its own with minimal side dishes or accompanying foods. It is common for this type of caviar to be served simply on toast. It is quite common for caviar to be served with other luxury foods and drinks. Fine champagne, for example, is often enjoyed with eggs.
The defining characteristics of beluga caviar, other than its price and mild flavor, are the color and size of the individual eggs. This type of caviar is deep black in color. Also, beluga sturgeons create very large eggs. The size of the eggs is quite similar to that of peas.
