Tips on how to serve and store Caviar
Caviar has been enjoyed all throughout history. The ancient Persians heavily salted their caviar in order to preserve the eggs, and it wasn’t until it became popular in Russia, that a lightly-salted version became the custom. The trade off to less salting was that the caviar didn’t keep very long, and so the tradition of eating caviar as an appetizer, became very popular. Recently, with the addition of non-sturgeon caviars on the market, caviar has become an a...

Sustainable Caviar: the extraction and production process
Traditionally, caviar has been extracted from dead sturgeon. Fisherman would fish the Caspian and Black Seas during the sturgeon migration season (when female fish migrate upstream to lay their eggs) to fish for mature female sturgeon. Once caught, the fish would be sliced open and their eggs removed, naturally killing the fish. To prevent spoilage, the caviar would be cleaned aboard the boat and packed on ice, while the rest of the fish would be later sold to fis...
Sustainable Caviar Production:
Caviar, long considered to be a delicacy around the world; has been traditionally harvested from wild sturgeon caught mainly in the Caspian and Black Seas. It is processed by sieving their egg masses (separating the eggs from the ovaries), and adding salt as a preservative and flavor enhancer. Demand for caviar, and the prices it obtains, is high, but supplies may be running out. The trouble is that caviar is typically pro...

How Caviar is Rated
Not unlike a diamond, not all caviars taste and cost the same; and therefore caviar eggs are scrutinized based on a number of factors. There is a logical standard that is followed (known as grades) and caviars (both sturgeon-based and caviar substitutes) undergo a significant amount of analysis to define just how good it is. Several aspects will determine where a particular caviar falls on the rating scale, and thereby determine how delicious, and expensive it wil...

Caviar’s History
Depending on whom you ask, there seems to be some conjecture as to the origin of the term “caviar.” If you ask the Italians, “caviar” was first introduced into the English language via Italy in the 1600s. If you ask the Turks, it was derived from the Turkish word khavyar, (found in English print in the late 1500s). If you ask the Persians, it is ultimately from ancient Per...

Caviar around the world
The history of caviar began over two hundred million years ago, when sturgeon first started to appear on earth. Since then “caviar” has been fundamentally linked to the fish from which it is extracted, the sturgeon. There have been numerous accounts of “Caviar” from a number of sources; with Latin, Greek and Egyptian artifacts alike, showing a profound interest in the sturgeon circa two thousand years ago.
