The finest, freshest caviar is a delicacy enjoyed by those who appreciate its luxury

It is almost impossible to exist without having heard something about caviar, but not many people know what caviar truly is. Caviar is simply any exclusive salted fish roe or egg. Genuine caviar comes from the Caspian Sea. The environment in the frigid waters contributes to the best production of sturgeon, which is a large primitive fish whose eggs are of great value.

To the caviar 'purist', caviar can be made from only the sturgeon egg. The sturgeon eggs are sifted to remove any membrane and fatty tissues and then salted with non-iodized salt to make caviar. This method that is basically used for preserving and curing is still used to this day.

Others who are less rigid in their definition of what caviar is will accept it from other fish assortments such as tuna, salmon and a variety of other forms. These kinds of caviar tend to be less expensive than the other fine varieties of sturgeon.

Caviar can add a touch of elegance and opulence to any occasion. Whether it is a romantic dinner for two, dinner party or lavish gift for someone special, caviar's rich delicacy will be appreciated by all.
