Caviar is a delicacy consisting of processed roe (eggs) harvested from sturgeon fish, specifically from species like beluga, osetra, and sevruga. It is highly prized for its luxurious taste and texture, often enjoyed as a gourmet accompaniment or garnish.
Caviar varies in color, flavor, and size, with lighter-colored varieties generally considered more valuable.
Traditionally served chilled and accompanied by blinis, toast points, or crème fraîche, caviar is associated with high-end dining and special occasions, though sustainable alternatives made from other fish roe are becoming more accessible.
