Beluga Caviar. At Least Once in A Lifetime

by admin on February 17, 2012

Everybody knows caviar. It doesn’t necessarily mean everyone has tasted them but caviar is almost synonymous to living a rich and famous lifestyle.  But for those who aren’t very familiar with the different types of caviar, it should be noted that the taste differ significantly.  The best is still said to be the beluga caviar, harvested from the Caspian Sea in Russia.

Beluga Caviar

It is said that the beluga caviar is such a rare delicacy that it can cost up to thousands per ounce because the Beluga Sturgeon is considered a critically endangered species.  The Beluga Sturgeon produces the largest of eggs which makes the delicate texture of the caviar exquisite.  Although pricey, a lot of people want a taste of this caviar simply because this is what made the “caviar” famous.  It’s rich, smooth flavor is a must-try for anyone who wants the real experience of caviar.

So what will complete an ultimate beluga caviar experience.  Experts say that high quality grade caviar such as this need not be complemented with anything else.  One should savor the taste on its own, using a caviar spoon made out of mother of pearl.  Perfect serving per person is at most 2 ounces, depending if the caviar will be complemented with toast points or crackers.

Beluga Caviar can also be enjoyed with sour cream or creme fresche, while others prefer it with minced flat-leaf parsley.  To wash it down, champagne is preferred followed by a simple fruit such as a pear so as not to cut down on the richness in taste of the caviar.

Mommy Che! When we can find the money to buy an oz, let’s go get some then pls ship to me :) I so want to try this, although maybe we’ll get to taste the substitute which is Kaluga (I think) since it may be hard to find Beluga caviar now.

I have tasted caviar with parsley and at first I did not like the taste but to enjoy it you have to set a good combination. Caviar alone is salty.

The first time I tried caviar I didn’t even know what I was eating, until my then boyfriend (now my husband) told me, I just thought it was fish roe. LOL turns out fish roe IS caviar. :P That was back when I was young and ignorant, I think I was 15.. :P

I prefer to down it with chardonnay though because I don’t like the taste of champagne.. :P
