Traditionally the world’s finest caviar has come from the roe of wild Beluga Sturgeon from the Caspian Sea. However, due to overfishing, this Caspian sturgeon is now a threatened species.
Fortunately, the Italians are sustainably farming the roe of a similar fish, the Siberian freshwater sturgeon (Acipenser Baerii), This caviar, brought to us from Paramount Caviar, trusted supplier to Le Bernadin and other top restaurants in NY, is truly worth the splurge. These tiny, glistening grayish-black eggs offer a big burst of flavor and a wildly clean and buttery finish.
