Discover our guide to caviar types from Beluga and Osetra, to salmon roe and tobiko. Explore their unique flavors, textures, and ideal pairings.

Caviar is special salt-cured, unfertilized fish eggs that come exclusively from the sturgeon species. It is one of the oldest known delicacies and was traditionally a food only the wealthy or royal could experience. Authentic caviar has a firm texture and a clean, rich flavor that is not overly salty or fishy.

From decoding what caviar is, to discovering the difference between Beluga and other types, to learning how to make caviar at home (and even a cowboy version!), this guide has it all.

"Why?" A question as old as humanity, and as relevant today as ever. Explore the history, meaning, and necessity of the question that drives discovery from toddlers to theoretical physicists.

Beluga caviar is prized for its soft, extremely large (pea-size) eggs. It can range in colour from pale silver-grey to black. It is followed by the small golden sterlet caviar which is rare and was once reserved for Russian, Iranian and Austrian royalty.

To experience its unique flavor and texture, you can serve caviar straight from the tin, but there are plenty of other delicious ways to enjoy it. Follow these pointers to pull off the classiest spread.
